NOTES for Week of March 9, 2025

Friends,

  • Keep up the good work with your practice. Remember to do so musically/expressively.
  • Work on memorizaiton. Songs to be memorized: Now Is the Month of Maying, Music Down in My Soul, Inkosi Namandla, and Bring Me Little Water, Silvy.
  • Practice your body percussion for Bring Me Little Water, Silvy daily so it becomes second nature. New videos available soon.
Now is the Month of Maying
  • Push the tempo and don't slow down at cadences.
  • Again, sing the fa-la-la's detached and the verses more legato
  • Overall, use a light tone, especially in the complex mm. 28-31.
I Love You/What a Wonderful World
  • Keep energy in the chorus' slow, extended phrases. Make them have "line."
  • Also, sing with rich, warm tone.
All of Me
  • I want two different singers to sing the short solos in mm. 12-16, and 17-22. Let me know if you're interested.
Bring Me Little Water, Silvy
  • Work on your memorization so we can begin putting the song together with the body percussion.
Music Down in My Soul
  • Clean up any notes and rhythms with which you are unsure. Be precise.
  • Watch cut-off's
