We began this short video series to showcase different ways of playing music, singing and having fun.
This unplugged Elvis medley demonstrates how two or more songs can be joined into one performance. A medley may move through different keys, tempos and moods, so the singer needs to listen carefully and adapt the voice as the music changes.
What to listen for in a medley
- How the songs connect musically
- Changes in key, rhythm and vocal colour
- Clear phrasing between one song and the next
- Keeping the performance relaxed and enjoyable
Listening is one of the most important parts of music. It helps a performer stay connected to the accompaniment and make each transition feel natural.
Stay tuned for more styles, performances and student showcases.
