"Hey, taxi!"

Calling a taxi across the street on 1 5 1: a free, easy call that becomes a belt. From Mary Saunders-Barton's teaching, via Jared Trudeau.

How to do it

  1. Call it first, like across a street.
  2. Sing it the same way, the stress on "TA".
  3. Up a half step each time, then back down.

Remember Call it, easy and free.

Take care If the call gets heavy or tight, lighten it or go back down.
