Chorus Lesson Plan 10/28

Hi Chorus! To keep us going I will be running choral rehearsals until Mrs. Wittman's replacement can start! I am very excited. This is not my first time running a chorus rehearsal, but it has been awhile, and I am excited to dig into this wonderful music with you for awhile!

Here is our first lesson plan: 

1) Vocal warm up with piano. (5-10 minutes) 

2) Solfege. Echo patterns. Sing harmonies with solefege patterns. These patterns will match exactly what I am going to be asking you to sing in "Unwritten," which is the first piece we will be rehearsing today. (5 mintues)

3) Listen to "Unwritten." (5 minutes)

4) Count sixteenth note patterns. (5 minutes)

5) After counting sixteenth note patterns we are going to sing 11-29. We are going to practice counting these rhythms while singing, and using solfege while singing to work on parts singing and intoniation. (20 minutes)

6) Add lyrics to our rhythms and harmony parts.(5 minutes)

7) Closure: discussion of what needs practice and why. How to practice for next week!
