The Monday show presented the appearance of Gareth Malone, who is the conductor of a choir. He disclosed a surprisingly uncomplicated song that he uses to assess a singer's talent.
He stated that he often requests people to sing Happy Birthday song because it's more complex than people realize. Often, individuals commence singing with the wrong starting note; hence, it's an excellent method to examine whether someone visualizes the song's melodies or simply making an uneducated guess.
In regard to his decision to pursue a career in conducting, Malone recalled: "As a teenager, around age 16 or 17, I witnessed a choir performance and observed the individual leading the group. It was then that I thought to myself, I would love to have that position as my profession."
