Performing Arts academy 24/10/12
In previous academy sessions I have created the head costume for the reindeer, i created the antlers from newspapers rolled up into an antler shape and created ears from a grey fabric material scrunched into an ear shape. I wrapped wire around the newspapers. At first it was difficult trying to bind it round the whole thing but managed it.
I then painted over both the ears and antlers in grey/silver acrylic paint which took a long time to cover, and then smothered them with silver glitter. This was easy due to the fact it stuck to the wet paint, but made a lot of mess :P

Singing session week3
Today we focused on diction.
We used word techniques such as 'red lorry yellow lorry' 'lips teeth tip of the tongue'.
We used the five vowel sounds 'v e a i o'
I myself lead a vocal warm up, playing the middle C on piano for the girls to hum back and the next lower C for Max and had them sing 'v e a i o'.
After that I also lead a call and response method, the 'Boom chicka rocka chicka boom chicka boom'.
At the end of the session we used Greek words and put them into harmony. Me and Max singing the lower keys and the girls on the higher...Lizzie performed the highest note alone and Jess and Beth performed the next lowest to that.

Singing session with Lena
Week2-
We recapped on what we done the week before. Making sure we hadn't forgot everything we'd learned. We looked through the booklet again briefly.
We done our warm ups, rolling heads, shaking hands. We done diaphragmatic breathing and began humming to notes played from the piano.
Being one of two boys in my group we kept going higher with the girls, but we were trying to keep low.
This exercise was testing our flexibility and range...Our voice was covering peggios.
We each had to do a recording of us just singing back notes to Lena on piano.
We then done some blues piano work reminding ourselves of all the keys on piano.

Also we learned different ways of preparing your body to sing.
-Feet spread apart, about a foot and a half. Hands down by your side, give them a little shake for 5 seconds. Then slowly rotate your head once and then stop in the centre and head slightly titled up, chin up, shoulders back.
At the back of our Academy of Performing arts booklet, there is a sheet:
INITIAL SKILLS AUDIT

singing session week 1
Singing session with Lena
Week1-
We learned about diaphragmatic breathing. Breathing in for 1,2,3,4...Hole 1,2,3,4...and out for as long as possible until you can't push any more out.
A good time to practice diaphragmatic breathing is when lying down, because it can cause you to go light headed.
We were each given booklets- Academy of Performing Arts- Assignment brief- Informing us on what we must do in each task.
Task1: Practice routine process log/video
Task2: Sing-back musical phrases video
Task3: Rehearsal (B)log/video
