[@clovrrr]

[@loganrehn3916]

You are appreciated sir, thank you

[@EllaKovalchuk]

Thank you! I’m auditioning for elite choir and this helped a lot

[@crystal_leopard7867]

I have been trying to find these specific hand signs for the chromatic scale because they are what I used in high school. But why is it that when I look up "Curren Hand Signs" the hand signs look different to the ones shown in this video?

[@kenyanbaddie]

ur going ayyyyyyyy at the end, MY CHOIR DIRECTOR WILL NOT APPROVE, yet she sent this to me :/

[@michaelvarney.]

No need for the autotune. It is very distracting.

Hi Dave.
Are these hand signs useful for singing seven notes scales different than major scale, minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic) and diatonic modes? For instance, singing synthetic scales or hybrid modes? Maybe I'm wrong, but I understand the use of sharps and flats in a diatonic context as chromatic approximations to the diatonic ones, but in a chromatic context the melodic tensions and relaxations can differ hugely from those of diatonic context. Would it be necessary the use of a new kind of hand signs in that case?
Awesome video and beautiful singing. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.

Hi! I'm a little lost by your meaning, could you give an example of what you're referring to?

[@Racosz]

@@Checkmate1138 For instance, how would you sing this scale with Curwen signs? - C-Db-Eb-F#-G#-A-Bb-C. Let's take the Bb (seventh degree of the scale). Would it be better sing this note using Curwen sign Li or Te? In some contexts, chromatic scales use to be enharmonically interpreted in order to clarify the note spelling. For this scale - or similar ones - is it better to keep the same Curwen signs for the ascending and descending models or is it possible to change them depending on the melodic direction or music context? In diatonic contexts, the approach in this matter I think is pretty obvious, but is not the same in highly chromatic ones. That's my question. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Dave!

[@noyz-anything]

meanwhile friday night funkin composers are grinning sinisterly at you

[@Ifeoma_Gift]

Thanks a lot for the vid, and sorry this reply is coming late. But I've wondered if singing this everyday for five months will help me recognize these sounds whenever I hear it, and actually form a song with it. What do you think?

[@marcozipagan7497]

Solfeges: Do, Ra, Re, Me, Mi, Fa, Se, Sol, Le, La, Te, Ti, Do

[@astronomical5959]

Broooooo thank you soooooo much, but I’m confused on why the hand signs are different from the ones I learn in school
