Well it has been a long time since we've had a lesson. She sang for District Solo and then she got super busy and we haven't met since the lesson just before. I went and watched her performance at districts, and she did an ok job for barely knowing the song. One of her biggest problems with her sound at the competition was she was pushing/wringing herself out and that made her go sharp quite often. This week she is competing in the Preston Bennet Cup, and I've been assured that she has been practicing her song. I'm hoping she has the notes/rhythms/words much better because there isn't much I can do for her if not.
Since there is only today's lesson, and one I'll give tomorrow, before her competition on Wednesday, I want to focus more on pitch correction today. If she knows the song well, this will be easier to address because she'll be more likely to release in the body instead of tightening out of fear of messing up.
Short Term: pitch
Long Term: lower larynx/ breath gesture.
