Sam Meredith Rob O Lesson Plan for 2/11/14

This will be my third lesson with Rob. His long term goals are to have more confidence in his singing. My short term goals to be accomplished in this lesson are to help him find a greater state of release in his shoulders and to have a greater state of release in his shoulders. In order to release his shoulders I want to have him assume the rag doll pose and just help him become more aware of how his shoulders and neck feel when he is in that position. In order to help him release his jaw more, I want to do some exercises that will help him naturally find an open jaw position. Some things I want to do include having him speak like a vampire and also do some exercises on the same pitch with the syllables [nim, nem, nam, nom, num] and have him try to let his jaw release to the same place with each vowel.
