What to practice: “Fly me to the moon” & “Prom Queen”
How to practice it most effectively: For “fly me to the moon” work on the notes at the end of each chorus: “in other words, hold my hands” & “in other words, darling kiss me”
For “Prom Queen”, sing along with the recording to get the phrasing (some phrases are less predictable in timing), and practice the chorus, using your diaphragm to sing strongly without straining from the throat.
