Alto 1 or Alto 2?
We have 2 different Alto parts for some songs. If you are not a confident singer, Alto 1 is probably better as this generally doubles the melody line with only a few harmony changes. Alto 2 will be better suited to more confident singers, as it contains more of the harmony lines.
Rehearsal Tracks – Alto 1

Rehearsal Tracks – Alto 2

How To Practise
The rehearsal tracks have the Alto part boosted to make it easier to hear. Rather than trying to learn the entire song in one go, work on it section by section – this might be just a few bars at a time. Listen to a section twice, then sing along with it three times, then try to sing it along with the section before. Slowly build up the song this way, until you are able to sing all the sections together.
Even if you don’t read music, follow along with the score as you listen to the recording – you will see the patterns of notes going up and down, and the faster and slower bits, even if you don’t know what each blob, dot and squiggle actually means!
