Take the on-line crash course and learn how to sing a cappella just like your idols

"How on earth do they do that?!" We get that question a lot ! Well, let us introduce you to some basic principles of high standard a capella singing. With every step, you can click on the highlighted bits to hear how to go about it. Enjoy!

• Anybody who happens to carry a whistle on him, gives the tone (eg. a B).
• the others take over that tone meticulously.
• Somebody particularly gifted for bass singing comes up with a funky bass line.
• Pick a vocal pattern, just a couple of syllables, which make absolutely no sense at all, but which sound groovy. How about pakketiepawa, or teuteketeum, or if you are a real dare devil: tawtekewa.
• Add some friends and it will soon sound something like this, this or this.

• Why not add some percussion while you're at it.
• The lead vocal ! Put a bit of soul in your lead vocal. Who said that it always had to be about "love" and "booty". Let's see what "pay as you go" or "park & ride" sound like.
• What is an impeccable harmony if it ain't got that swing? Right: dance steps !
