Emily C.: Joint Practice, 11/25/13
For today’s session, we worked on mastering the rhythms in one of Brooke’s german pieces since she was a little shaky on it during voice recital hour last week. We clapped out the rhythms first, then spoke the rhythms with the claps, and then sang the rhythm, and then added the accompaniment (which turned out to be the hardest part). We made sure she was familiar with the auditory cues before she came in and got used to the “feel” of when she enters. I recommended practicing without using the voice and just clapping out the rhythms or saying the words on a primal sound so as not to wear out the voice. For me, we basically went over all three of my pieces and made sure that they were going okay. Brooke warned me to make sure I don’t get lazy on my ich-lauts on my german pieces and to stay relaxed when juries comes around.
