Monday
we started of the lesson with tongue twisters such as red lorry yellow lorry etc and scales to practise our diction. The class was then split into to so we could all focus on our vocals within a smaller group however, overall our main aim to improve on our projection because it just wasn't loud enough. We then spent the rest of the lesson practising our projection.
Tuesdays
today we did a body warm up where we use all our muscles and then a foot warm up after it. This is the warm up we did before the half term. just to help with our stamina and get ready for dancing. After, we continued on from last weeks lesson of using the blocks. This time i managed to to stay on time and not make any mistakes. My group managed to perfectly do the alphabet however, when some people weren't moving the blocks they were just standing still not knowing what to do with themselves. Nadine picked this up and got us (even the little kids) to do the dance the big kids did at the start; now, in this part of the choreography. She also highlighted the importance on focusing the audiences attention on the certain blocks. for example, when Ms being called it should be the most visible block. We continued practicing while acting on what Nadine said for the rest of the lesson. At the end i really noticed a big improvement.
Friday
we started today lesson getting into groups of 4 and sang "i like the flowers i like the daffodils" while doing dance moves with it. All the different groups had different starting and ending times. We had a quick run though of everything we had done just preparing us for our mocks. So, later on we did are mock. Basically we performed in front of a camera so we can later reflect on our work. I performed twice in front of the camera because in the other group elle was unable to perform the dance or move all the blocks so because i had the same part as her in the other group i stepped in. Doing it twice actually helped put me out of my comfort zone and helped my confidence.
