Lesson 6 - 19th October 2016

Here is a list of questions that can be useful for you to make sure you have a clear understanding of your song which will enable you to perform eloquently.

In your blog, choose one song you are working on and answer the questions.

Please note: you may not always be able to answer all the questions. And there is often not a right or wrong answer!

Lesson 5 - 12th October

In your blog this week:

Give an account of how you felt the performance went. Describe how your practice/rehearsal regime helped you to prepare for the performance. How can you improve your practice regime over the course of the next half-term to develop further.

Make sure this and all your other work is completed by Monday morning when I will be marking it.

There will be a lesson as normal next week!

Lesson 4 - 5th October 2016

We are performing next Wednesday in the theatre as part of a performance that starts at 2pm.

Please be there (if you can!) at  1.30pm for a soundcheck and run-through.

Make sure you have learnt the lyrics!!!!!!!!!!!!



Here is the backing track for Don't Stop Believing



In your blog today:
i) Give an account of any practice / preparation / rehearsal you have done this week (only write about today's lesson if you have done nothing during the week!)
ii) When rehearsing together, what do you need to do (individually and collectively) to make sure that the rehearsal is efficient and effective?
