20 Mar Shine On Me
This African-American spiritual is a soulful beacon. Sung and shared here by Melanie DeMore, she never teaches harmonies to this. After sharing the melody with a group she simply says “harmonize” and everyone knows just what to do. This song is a prayer, a deep “ask” for benevolence.

Shine on me, oh shine on me

Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me

Take my hand…
Teaching Notes
When Melanie teaches this, she never teaches specific harmonies. After sharing the melody with a group she simply says “harmonize” and everyone knows just what to do. Enjoy.
