October 2nd

If you missed October 2nd, here's what you missed:

1. Warm-ups included hitting an ah with a hard beginning, 'ah, with some extra softness hah and just plain old ah. Something to think about when you're singing a vowel sound: which way do you want to start the sound?

2. We worked on the main melody in True Colors to get stronger on our parts. It's not easy to stick to your part, and easy to get pulled to the melody that the sopranos are singing. We did really well on the clapping part!

3. We planned to sing along to Viva la Vida, but the CD died. So, we sang along to One Thing by One Direction. Fun!

4. We had a snack (Koolaid and chocolate chip cookies) and listened to Heather and Renate sing Indescribable and started to sing along. It's pretty.

5. We worked on memorizing Waiting Here For You and worked on the allelujahs. They're sounding awesome.

6. We did a sing and play-along to Count on Me, with 2 guitars, ukulele, recorder, a triangle and shakers. It was really noisy and so much fun!

7. For one last sing-along we did Firework by Katy Perry.

Samantha gave me a bunch of songs to look at- some words and some words and music, and Ethan gave me a list of songs to consider doing! Thank you! Emma is going to email me ideas too.
