Sarah Gee's Pal/Partner Practice 9/26/13

At 8:00 am, Ben Shaw and I did some warm ups and taught each other different vocalises and what their designed purpose was. We then decided to treat this practice time like a two way masterclass type of thing, where we switched off being the one who was practicing and the one giving helpful advice. I helped him to be more aware of what he could do with his phrasing and keeping his energy consistent through each phrase. Then he helped me break up a melisma that I have been particularly struggling with. We also decided that next week we'd quiz each other on memorization on a couple of our pieces. this has been extremely helpful for me but I'm not sure that I helped Ben much.
