dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
A pop dance number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
It became a hot topic thanks to its flashy music video where the members themselves show off their dance moves! The overall vocal range is A3 to F#5, and aside from the very last high note in the chorus, it’s a range most male singers can handle.
If you consciously keep your energy high, your facial muscles and eyebrows will naturally lift, making it easier to project your voice! The rhythm is distinctive—if you feel it with a bouncy swing or count it in double-time, you’ll likely find it easier to groove and sing along.
For the high notes at the end of the melody, don’t be afraid—charge in with momentum! Aim to let it all out and project your voice confidently!
