After the Music and Literacy lesson, Ms Susanne taught us a new song orally. It was called "And This Shall Be For Music". The song was a bit high, too high for my liking. I tried singing it and couldn't reach a few high notes. Ms Susanne also let us try out a new singing method when we think we are like straws, or something like that. We imagined that our voices came out of our foreheads. I drew a diagram to explain that. (To see the diagram, please go to the sister website. The diagram is under "Date: 15-1-16 Singing Diagram".)
The song had quite a wide range and was moderately fast. The rhythm was easy to pick up and the piece was in quadruple time.
Then, Ms Susanne gave us the sheet music and arranged us in a semi-circle sort of formation. Half of that formation was allotted the soprano part, while the other half was allotted the alto part. I was originally in the soprano section, and as mentioned before, some notes were too high. Therefore, I switched parts to alto and the range was slightly lower.
Then we practiced the song until the time was up. It was difficult to concentrate on my part as the sopranos and the piano were quite loud. In the end, however, we still managed to do, okay, ish.
Ms Susanne released us early.
