HEY! You... made my life... way Better. Big impact. Thank you. After I wrote that, I scrolled down the comments... yeah. A lot of people thinking the same thing. Who knew? I think all here agree. Mr. Rolka, you made your mark on the world, and you used your ticket to this life, really, really, well. We all thank you. And many more will appreciate, the product of all of us, who, because of you, became useful for being able to sing. Human song, or singing, has a profound neurological effect not only on the singer, but the listener. Good singing, actually makes brains better. It makes lives better. We wouldn't have a music industry, if that were not the case. In concert with those of us, who can now make brains better... and consequently, lives around us better, through this art, this skill, this mechanism to shape thought, and feeling, in tangible and intangible ways... We thank you, Jeff Rolka. We thank you. ~ Pete Meister, and everyone here.

The second to last exercise is my favorite because it reminds me of Princess Aurora singing in the forest. Thanks again Jeff!

I am a tenner however I love this baritone exercise because it touched on the lower notes. Great exercise.

I love this Jeff, thank you. I am high baritone with a 2 1/2 octave range so although difficult I like these baritenor warm ups. My voice and range has come on tremendously. My voice now has many colours. 😊😊🙏🙏🥰

Thanks Jeff. This was great. I thought I was a bass baritone. But I might be a bass baritone baritenor. It was all in my range without any strain. Thanks again.

Even though the lowest notes are difficult for me, I still like the Baritenor warmups because they help me strengthen my chest voice and I think they are good for relaxing my larynx down at the bottom. Regardless, I have a question which might fit into a Questions from Comments video. Movable "DO." I recall you once said you used the movable DO system. So, does that mean you have two scales in your mind? Major scale interval order and minor scale interval order are not the same so you need at least two interval patterns which are then applied to the 12 major and then 12 minor keys. Yes? Ignoring the other modes for now. So, since the tonic varies by key, how do you know where you are? Do you just find the key, hit the tonic and then you know the scale? Or if you know the key, do you look at any note on the page and know what it is ( G3 is SO in C Major but RE in F Major) and thus you know where the tonic is and what the scale should sound like? You can do all this on the fly?

Hello David! Thank you for your kind words! Excellent question! Yes! Happy to talk about this in Questions from Comments 35. Best! Jeff

Movable Do typically refers to the western (American) philosophy of teaching music wherein Do is determined by the key you’re singing in. If we are in D major, D would be our Do. Fixed Do implies C is Do no matter what. So if we were in the Key of D major, someone trained in fixed Do would describe us as being in the Key of Re. The prodigy of my school when I was in college had already trained music at the conservatory of Colombia and was raised with fixed Do and attributed his other worldly ear to that philosophy. I’ve been trying to retrain my brain ever since I met Juan. Now he plays Jazz piano professionally in Miami. Best part of going to music school was bring around him, and the humility I gained from being around a talent like him.

Thank you so much, and sorry about the piano. The weather changed quite dramatically here and it was already getting close to needing a tuning. It's going to be a few weeks before my tech can do it I'm afraid. Thank you! Jeff
