With Christ In My Vessel

This catchy song is terrific for:

  • Inner hearing practise.
  • Checking how well older students have internalised a steady beat - do they get faster in the sections where words have been taken out?
  • Checking if your students can internalise pitch - do they sing in tune when they come in after sections where words have been taken out?
  • Practising the melodic element 'ti' ('fa' is not in this song).
  • Melodic sequence (in bars 2,3 and 4).
  • Singing with boys whose voices are breaking - it has a range of a Major 6th.
  • Practising the rhythmic element 'tim-ka'.

This version is written to be played 'straight'. Another version is to sing this song 'swung'.
