Taylee - Lesson Summary 11/01/13

We did a few different things in my warm-ups. They were the same vocalizes but with a few modifications. The one that stuck out the more was instead of doing lip trills on a 5-1 scale, we hummed them and made chewy motions. After that we did one were I started on "ng" then I opened to an [i] and did a descending 5-1 scale. We then talked a lot about how we word things in our lessons. Brianna had recently had an experience were one of her other students just barely understood something she had been saying for 3 years to that person, because another teacher had told her the same thing only worded differently. I guess it just goes to show that what works for one person may not work for another, and as the teacher you need to try a lot of things to give the student more of a grasp on what needs to happen. After warm-ups, we just started at the beginning of my program and sang through it, stopping after each song as necessary and discussing what I could do differently.
