[@MariankGonzalez]

Wow that was awesome! Also, practicing to this makes me feel 100% like I'm in a medieval choir haha! I love it!!!

[@JeffRolka]

Im hearing new resonances when I do your drills, and some other drills then go back and sing the songs I rehearse. Youve set this up to be singing teacher 4 all of America! I am so impressed with you and how by doing your drills we get real progress. Im getting resonance now in the low notes too and it feels good!

[@JeffRolka]

That's wonderful to hear! You have identified, exactly, what I've been trying to do here on the channel. Anyone should be able to work with their voice effectively to get more of what they want out of it. Enjoy the channel! Keep singing! Best, Jeff

[@Qualityselection]

Thank you very much!! Finally, something really good for minor key, always a lot disregarded.

[@stephenjohnson4000]

Another great video, Jeff. I performed in a winter concert last night and your videos have helped me reach a new level in my singing abilities. I am a huge fan of your work!

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

great ear training, I sing Yah's to train the jaw to relax, I wish people knew this is the real ear training

was gonna ask for a doom warmup but here it is !!!!! - dani bandolier

[@louislark4506]

Again- Jeff Rolka you are a mavern vocal You Tube coach- the best on KZbin. You elucidate and demonstrate the vocal exercises with precision evoking the viewers like myself to vocally comprehend from a baritone perspective. Thanks so much Jeff.

[@DelciH]

Jeff, I've got to say this is one of my absolute favorites!!!

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know! I will have to do another one similar soon! Best, Jeff

[@goupilnoir]

Fantastic job. Very spécial in minor key

[@hopekwan8703]

Pls make more exercises in minor key. Rally enjoyed this video.

[@JeffRolka]

Yes, you're absolutely right! I'll get them in the production schedule! Jeff

[@maryeberhardt353]

Thanks Jeff for your amazing warm ups! In our church, we only do online services for the time being and I have been volunteering my time to record the hymns for the month. Since we have no choir, my voice was horribly out of shape and I was struggling with the higher hymns. After doing your warm ups my voice is much more flexible and it seems easier to hit those high notes with confidence! My choir director and I are both big minor key fans, so I esp. love this! Keep it comin'! If you have any special tips for older singers (senior citizen here :) that would be esp. helpful too...thanks!

[@viviangerrietts7687]

I enjoyed the change up to warm in minor. Thanks

[@JeffRolka]

Thank you! I appreciate that! Jeff

[@That_Revenant_Guy]

I've just started using this one, for when I need to practice, but my voice needs a bit of recording rest. The kid/cat in the background scared the bejeezus out of me. 🤣

[@nellychatziathanasiadou7962]

Jeff thank you so much for your videos!I've taken singing lessons in the past and now I keep on as a self-studying singer and after doing your exercises regularly I've made great progress.Thanks again for your awesome work and your help!

[@JeffRolka]

Fantastic! You're welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoy the channel! Jeff

[@theljthund9562]

wow, it turns out that what you do is the same as me as a self-taught singer.

[@heidibanker2572]

Thanks, Jeff! Exercises in minor key -always appreciated!

[@JeffRolka]

You're welcome, Heidi! Thank you! More alternate scale patterns coming! Jeff

[@That_Revenant_Guy]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you. It's not easy to find decent tutors online, especially employing scales that metal singers can use. Great job.

[@Anhidema]

Man ! I really enjoyed your classes ! I'm gonna follow you . Please continue with the same spirit ! You are the best ! Thank youuuuuuu !

[@JeffRolka]

Count on it! Onwards. Jeff

[@mahnickaah]

You're awesome Jeff. I've been warming up to many of your videos almost regularly. And I am so thankful for you!

[@JeffRolka]

Awesome! Thank you for watching and singing along! Enjoy the channel! Jeff

[@cynthiaford9824]

This was very helpful, theres not enough of these kind of videos on youtube. Please make more!

[@JeffRolka]

Will do! Thanks! Jeff

[@SilviDi]

Woow that helps me a lot!!! Thank you so much, Jeff!!! Bless you! Have a wonderful Christmas! X ❤️🙏☺️

[@ParthChadhaMusic]

thanks master

[@DelciH]

Jeff, excellent video! I love mixing it up with minor key stuff. Have you done an agility minor key video for tenors and/or altos? Even though I'm a woman, my chest voice is pretty low and I always feel most comfortable using your tenor videos.

[@DelciH]

Although I am starting to finally try working on developing my head voice a lot more now. It still feels really patchy to me up there though.

[@JeffRolka]

Great idea! I'll have to do something like that with the minor tonalities! Best! Jeff

[@RosieDaCherrie]

Oh my god same girlll

[@jasperamanuel]

Love it! Please make more minor key sessions!

[@joebloggs619]

Thanks Jeff. Good fun.I used to struggle with the minor third in modern music but not classical music and had a few run ins with an excellent rock guitarist who told me I was missing its subtlety but Icould never getit quiteas he wanted it sung and thisguy was areal perfectionist with a brilliant ear for the slightest mistake, despite being a modern musician. I might try and sing asong he is likes me singing so he cando his fancy guitar stuff, which I can't do and he can't sing snd try not to have yet another argument about "the mininor third". I tried to tellhimit was "just a minor thing" and he got really angry and yelled "To you, but not to me! It comes at the most important part of the song and you refuse to sing it for me... After I've beenwaiting the entire song for just this special bit..." I might try to do it right this time and not discard that song as notfit for performance. Re the solfege, I know people learnto sing and sight read music using this method but I findthe syllables too distracting when learning some new pitch sequence, which, I guess, defeats thewhole purpose of the solfege method. But I like to use it randomly to add nonsense syllables to a melody whose words I don't yet know.I don't think this iswhat the original plan for the Solfege was. I don't findit very useful at all. The pure Italian vowels worked forthe ancient Belcanto exponents.They'll do just fine, for a nobody like me. One can focus onpure pitch andtone, without language syllables getting inthe way of your focus and concentration. So, yeah, I'll leave "Doh, a deer, a female deer ..." snd the rest of that Solfegesinging for the ki dergarten children to enjoy singing to.

thank you so much for this awesome video

You and Joaquin Phoenix have similar features. Lovely faces

[@elysereardon5991]

Thanks a million for this. One great challenge I've always had with my vocal training has been how easily I get bored. I'm also a goth, so I prefer the minor to begin with. heehee This is fantastic! Off to patreon now. Tak from Copenhagen!

[@elysereardon5991]

whoops...couldn't find you on patreon, actually. The link above doesn't take me to your user, and a search for your name didn't work, either. Hjælp, I want to contribute. :)

[@JeffRolka]

Sorry about that! Thanks for your interest in supporting the channel! Here's the link, let me know if this works properly! www.patreon.com/jeffrolka Very cool! I am planning on doing more minor/alternate scales coming up! I hope you enjoy! Best! Jeff

[@elysereardon5991]

Ooh, was I your first Patreon patron? Cool! Totally surprised and delighted by the extras you have for the $5 level. (Although, do I understand correctly that there are corresponding videos here for the Hasan Dhwani & Yaman scales? I couldn't find them.) I've long had an interest in learning non-Western vocal technique, and honestly hadn't a clue where to start -- all my formal training has been classical. Anyway, looking at your library, I feel as if there's a video corresponding to every concern I have (agility is a *big* one!), and then some. I'm extremely appreciative! I had to leave my teacher in the States, but I'm so happy that I can continue developing on my own. And perhaps if I'm in London, maybe we can arrange for an in person lesson/assessment, if that's something you do. :)

What is the link to major key singing warm up all voices?

[@JeffRolka]

You know, I don't think I have a playlist with all the minor key exercises! I'll see about making one! Best, Jeff

[@rockfiles]

A good exercise is to play a minor arpeggio in the order 1-5-3-5-1-5-3-1

[@EvilPato]

Master Jeff I want to request an advise from you I used to do this for living, but i changed from city and had to start all over again and i want to recover the power and technique, I have been un unactive from singing for more than 1 year Please recomendme your best baritone exercise to recover and improve the voice that i had. Thanks Master! Javier Arellano

[@JeffRolka]

It's difficult for me to recommend a specific video without knowing your voice, but here's the baritone playlist to narrow the selections down a bit: kzbin.info/aero/PL2mQP7sE6PHi79SBAYXfILPTxop03CV2J Best, Jeff

Thank you Master!

[@kijim2196]

Hello guys I’m actually new to this key , scale thing so if it is E minor scale for singing it is Em F# Gmajor Am Bm Cmajor and Dminor right ?🙏🏻 The key of my song is Eminor and I was singing it in Eminor, Aminor, B minor , GMajor, and CMajor is that right ?

[@JeffRolka]

Minor key theory is not terribly difficult, but it's not quite what you've written out in your comment. E minor has the same key signature as G major, but also, on need, borrows a d-sharp and c-sharp. There are rules around when to borrow and when not to, but they may or may not pertain to your composition. Also, if you're trying to understand the chords made off of the scale tones in the E natural minor scale, F sharp would be diminished, and D would be major.

[@kijim2196]

@@JeffRolka oh thank you so much 🙏🏻 so Am , Bm are not part of it ? It’s a natural E minor can you please tell me in general what notes I can sing in .

[@Windpuppy123]

Hello I know this is an old video but is it normal to sing solfège starting with do re mi even in minor or aeolian mode instead of la ti do, beginning with the sixth tone?

[@Windpuppy123]

Ok nevermind, I came across moveable Do/parallel minor and changing Mi to Me and so on. Just took an extra google search, great video!
