WEEK 5
How are we on week 5 already? This term is really flying past!
This week we warmed up with chair yoga to reduce tension in our neck and shoulders. We also practised lip trills, throat trills, 'ssss' and 'mmmm'.
THE SONGS
We refined My Favourite Things, focusing on the harmonies, lowering the Soprano part in the final chorus as it was too high. We revisited You've Got A Friend and refined the ending of Jolene.
We spent a bit of time working on a new song called What Happens When a Woman, by Alexandra Olsavsky. This involves some 'body percussion' which you can see in this YouTube version below.
We'll be doing more of this next week but here are a couple of clips of the choir learning some of the movements:
