Bass
Full run-through of entire piece
Voice
The voice parts for this piece involve you learning from the original piece, likely via YouTube. You can search for the piece on YouTube.
You should learn the piece by rote. This means, one note at a time. So, you would listen to the opening line - 'Now and then I think of when we were together...' and repeat it over until you think you can sing along with it.
Then keep repeating singing along with that line.
Next, you should try to then sing that same line without any support to see if you have learned it.
If you have, then move to the next line and keeping working in this way. You can also try learning two or maybe even four lines at once though this is harder.
