Vivace

Our 'Focus of the Week' this week was chosen for us by Kylee: 
Projection/Confidence
To work on developing vocal projection we talked about 'lifting the voice supported by your diaphragm'. 

While working on our new song 'A Million Dreams': 
- Each student was assigned a solo
- Students were placed into Group 1 or Group 2
- We started learning the bridge section

FOR HOMEWORK THIS WEEK
A Million Dreams:
- Listen to the bridge section 
- Practice the last 2 lines of the song
- Work on solo's

Movie Mash Up
- Learn the lyrics for the whole movie mashup off by heart! 
- Next week we will switch to using the backing track

Song lyrics and practice tracks for both Vivace songs can be downloaded from this webpage for practicing at home. Click on the song title listed on the right hand side of the page, under Resources (above the tutor pics) to access these.


 

After a year long hiatus due to maternity leave it is fantastic to have our Vivace Group Singing Class back up and running this term!

Each week in class a different student will get the opportunity to choose our 'Focus of the Week'. 
This week Jude chose  for us 'learning what we have to do'. 

We have a fabulous group of Vivace students this term. 
To kick off the term the class discussed various aspects of group singing classes including: 
* Being Supportive, Making Friends and Having Fun Together
* Learning and Practicing Singing Harmonies
* Preparing For and Singing at Recitals
* Learn Different Techniques and Ways to Sing
* Playing Games; and
* Singing Solo

During Terms Three and Four our Vivace class will work on two fun songs: 
A 'Movie Mashup' & 'A Million Dreams' 

MOVIE MASH UP
This number incorporates a variety of different songs from well known movies, exploring different styles of music, incorporating solo work, and learning singing techniques and harmonies. The Mash Up includes:

1. Welcome To The Family - Encanto
2. The Climb - Hannah Montana
3. Eye of the Tiger - Rocky
4. How Far I'll Go - Moana
5. I'm Still Standing - Sing
6. Don't Stop Me Now - Bohemian Rhapsody  

A MILLION DREAMS
'A Million Dreams' comes from the smash hit musical movie 'The Greatest Showman'. 
The song was originally performed by Hugh Jackman as P. T. Barnum, and is an anthem that celebrates the boundless potential of the human imagination. The song encourages us to embrace our dreams, no matter how extravagant they may seem, and to pursue them with unwavering faith and unity, ultimately creating a better and more fulfilling world - perfect for our vibrant Vivace students!
