Practice Plan: F Major
- Set a stable tonic reference on F, then sing each randomized four-bar line without sliding between scale degrees.
- Run clean reps at a slower tempo first, then increase tempo only after pitch consistency is stable.
- Transpose by a nearby semitone after success to confirm transferable intonation, not memorized motion.
