Hi my Choir babies :D
It's me again! ha ha.
I know it's getting a little irritating, but bear w me for 4 more practices alright! :(
I've changed th blogskin(yayz!) & I took away th birth dates, cause a bit redundant.
But if you all want it back, just leave a tag, I would put it back.

K, and I saw Amelia's tag.
Though it should be your responsibility to go through your notebook, I'll just revise everything here k.


Asian Sound:
Bright, forward, flexible, cyrstal clear, sharp, light, lifted, consonants.
- 小河淌水 & Lafa lafa.

For 小河淌水:

- Bright & foward cheena sound
- Consonants & vowels (Pronounce properly!)
- Line (where to breathe & where not to)
- Dynamics
(Decide where to pull away, where not to, conversing with other sections & take note of th more interesting part)
- LIFT your faces (Facial Expression)

For Lafa lafa:
- Dynamics
- TUNING
- Emotions (This is a song about a DOG not a funeral song)
- Line
- ENERGY

Western Sound:
Round, less nasal, high placement, forward, free & energetic.
- White Horses

For White Horses:
- Vowels give tuning (over-pronunciation)
- Use softer but TALLER sound
- LIFT up your faces while singing
- Tuning
- Dynamics
- EMOTION

Generally:
- Different colours for different type of songs (eg. Asian? Western?)
- Posture (Head, spine, shoulders, knee, feet)
- Breathe (Ribcage, tummy)
- Vocal Preparation (Face: eyebrows, eyes, lips & Throat: open)
- Think what's ahead
- Three ways of beginning (Sop 2, rmb to breathe properly)
- Three ways of ending (Abrupt? With a a slow lift? With no lift?)
- Supported brain
- Open throat
- High focus
- Engagement
- Refined (accurate? clean? specific?)
- 4 key points that must be standardise (Consonants & vowels, dynamics, line, feeling)
- Intension
- 3 levels of singing (1. Learning notes & rhythm 2. Shape 3. Bring out th shape)

Mr Wilson's Golden teachings:
#1: "Fake enthusiasm is also enthusiasm"
#2: "One might listen but might not hear"
#3: "To go beyond that which has given to us"
#4: "Inner self > mind> body"
#5: "The power of NOW"
#6: "It is not what you get but what you take away"


I have already typed out all th summary of th overview of stuff YOU should do.
No more excuses ok.
Each & every section is took look @ th DETAILS & refine it!
It just take ONE to not put in effort to ruin th overall performance.
It's like going to be less than 10 days, let's put it our best shot alright? :)
