17-18 - Gabriel Wainberg-Wolski Voice Lesson 2/33
Again, Gabe has excellent innate musical sense of rhythm, pitch and vowel and is very quick to pick up on concepts.
Vocal exercises:
- Breathy tone / full tone - on an [u] vowel, like "hoot" in mid range go back and forth between breathy tone and full tone to become more aware of the difference
- do lip trill scales from do to so
Music
Next week bring choir music:
- Kangaroo
- Bach
I will bring a few duets that Leo and Gabe can work on indoenedenty and then put together.
VOCAL AWARENESS
Continue daily awareness of your voice
- write two sentences each day about how you use your voice. How does it feel - scratchy, smooth, hoarse, strong? What did you do to make it feel that way?
17-18 Gabriel Voice Lesson 1/33
Great first lesson!
Gabe has a spot on sense of pitch and already shows a rhythmic sense. His vowels are also well defined - ipressively so!
Practice
- singing three note scale pattern (do re mi) - no higher than D - on an "oh" vowel. Focus on gentle singing without pushing or scratchyness in the throat.
Daily Awareness
- Pay attention to how you speak - is it scratchy in your throat or smooth? Go for smooth.
- try not to shout or yell!
