Concert Choir, Wednesday 02/15/17

Rehearsal Notes and Assignments: Today we made up Singing quizzes, so if you were absent the day we did them or yours didn't go through, you should've made it up today. We did Sight Singing from a new book that was used during MPA in 2013. After that we listened to our recordings from Friday and circled things in our music that we heard on the recording (mostly consisted of breathing in the right place, blending, and notes). We then worked on Sing Me to Heaven pages 1 and 2. Ladies: make sure to blend during the first part of the song where we get the "solo" also make sure to keep tall vowels and sing through the 'v' of "vain and vacant". Men: Make sure you know your Notes and work on phrasing. The "aching silence" part should sound aching. Also make sure to keep tall vowels and blend voice parts!! :)

Sight Singing: MPA book

No Theory

Homework : Work through the parts of the song that we went over in class today and REALLY learn your part (that means Notes and dynamics!!)
