Hey everyone.. Please do try to remember what was done during voice training today.. For eg. your posture, the pressure on the chest/diaphragm as you are singing, and the correct breathing techniques.. If you have a somewhat poor memory, do jot things down by the side of the score.. It helps in your singing as you are actively reminded of the expression, dynamics and other things to take note of while you are singing..
I would recommend using a highlighter to highlight the changes in dynamics, as well as certain tricky notes which are not sung well.. Use arrows, symbols, drawings, anything that you can understand to aid your singing.. A clean score is roughly equivalent to a set of clean lecture notes.. Have a pencil ready during practices and jot down anything that is said to improve your expression of the song..
Lastly, please do not talk while your Section Leaders are teaching/revising the songs.. That also applies when announcements are being made.. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, when Ms Ong is talking.. It puts her off when she is trying to impart her knowledge to her students, and her students are talking amongst themselves, not listening to her.. It is worse when after she corrected mistakes, the same mistake is made due to people not listening when she explained the correct way of expressing the song..
`J2s, all the best for your block tests..
`J1s, go go mug ur scores.. you dun have much time!!
