This is My Wish
Learn the song
Vocal warm-ups and learn the song!
Join Stephanie and Sean Miller as they take you through some fun warm ups, vocal health tips and teach you the song!
Backing Vocals
Shelley Gabriel introduces this week’s Make and Create episode, where we learn how to create our own backing vocals.
We find out what backing vocals are, what they are used for and why, and how we can use our ears to help us create our own vocal harmonies.
Shelley uses this week’s hit ‘This is my wish’ to demonstrate the use of backing vocals to provide harmony in the chorus, emphasise particular words in the song and add structure to the piece.

Stephanie Miller introduces today’s episode with warm-ups, facts and advice on learning to sing ‘This is my wish’.
Get warmed up – physically and vocally – and learn the song so that you can take part in Friday’s premiere of ‘This is my wish’ by Kevin Ross in our live premiere with the Albemarle Broadband here on our YouTube channel.
Stephanie encourages you to listen to something by Stevie Wonder, whose music inspired Kevin Ross to take up music as a career!
Double Bass & Guitar
Instruments of the week – Double Bass & Bass Guitar
Pietro Lusvardi introduces the Double Bass and the Bass Guitar – with some fine examples of classical, jazz, folk and pop favourites. Pietro shows the amazing range of sounds and styles with the Theme from the slow movement of Mahler’s 1st Symphony, Autumn Leaves, Someday my Prince will Come and even a Bossa Nova to get our feet tapping!
We get to meet another instrument – the kazoo! and Pietro multiple-tasks with a duet for kazoo and double bass! Pietro also demonstrates the bass guitar with excerpts from Queen’s ‘Another one Bites the Dust’ and Arctic Monkeys ‘Do I wanna know’.
