ECHOLittle Glee Monster

ECHO / Little Glee Monster

Why not experience Little Glee Monster’s beautiful harmonies with “ECHO”? You might feel hesitant to sing alone, but with a large group you can sing comfortably without feeling anxious.

Since it’s originally a female group’s song, it should be approachable for women’s chorus without straining the vocal range.

Rather than focusing solely on hitting the correct pitches, listen to each other’s voices and carefully build the harmony together.
