Music Guru: Help With This Modulations Issue by Divepen1(m): 6:50pm On Sep 07, 2016
I wrote a choir song for a concert where the end of the bridge has to lead to a modulation, and this will be done 3 times.

My aim was that the song will move a semitone each i.e from B to C to C# but the choir is automatically moving 2 tones higher on the first modulation and 2 and a half tone each for the next two modulation, no matter the number of time we do it i.e from B to Eflat' to Aflat' to C#''..
And the bridge had been forced to be done in Unison as against the harmony I planned for it.

While some believe it's awesome, I will like to get more proffesional views.

Try playing the brigde with the keyboard without the vocals then modulate with the keyboard as many times as u want then aske them to try singing
If it doesnt work then try tellin everyone to sing the brigde in their minds at the count of 3 while u do same and play the keyboard then modulate along side. Going a semi tone can be difficult for some persons
