Concert Choir, Friday 02/17/17

Rehearsal Notes and Assignments: Today Mrs. Siedshlag came from Middle Creek to help us with our MPA music! We did new warm ups like ascending and descending major 3rds on solfege and we also did things that we were familiar with like sirens and breathing exercises. After we warmed up, we worked on Sing Me to Heaven through the end. Some things we worked on were tall vowels, emphasizing consonants, and connecting the phrasing. Mrs. Siedshlag also sat down and talked to us about how important it is to really understand what we're Singing (phrases like grief and comfort & love and passion) if we are passionate about the song and sing with emotion it will improve our dynamics and overall song quality! Then we ran through I'm Gonna Sing once and did something a little different.. we got in a giant circle around the risers and mixed up the voice parts. This really allowed us to see how much our parts contrast with eachother in some places and how they are similar in other places! Great Rehearsal today :)
