Also work on your improv this week on the piano. Try in C major and G major. Look for a beat online to play along with. Next week we will record in class.

Kate

Remember to practice with recording as much as you can. Always start a practice session with a warm up. Try the techniques we tried in class like the wall trick or lifting the piano to help keep you grounded and prevent you from raising your shoulders. Always breath through your mouth and not through your nose when you start singing.

This week with Automne, go through counting and rhythm to make sure you have everything correct. 1st fill in counting, next clap and count, then add text, then add singing on a vowel then add the words while keeping a steady tempo and then the pitches.

Sara
