Unit Outline:
During these sessions you will learn how the body produces sound and how
to develop your voice as a singer. You will also devise a warm-up and
singing techniques schedule to ensure effective warming up and develop
the ability to sing back melodic phrases which will be tested continually
throughout the unit. This will develop your aural memory which is
important as ‘non musicians’ generally learn songs by ear rather than from
a musical score.
Ensemble singing is central to the unit and you will learn to sing in Unison
and with harmony work as part of an ensemble. You will also learn to sing
two solo songs using characterisation. You will be enrolled for private
singing lessons in pairs or trios and you will develop your technique and
your songs in readiness for your performances which will be regularly
assessed in class time and during departmental shows.
This unit will develop your confidence in singing and you will share your
work with your peers, in workshop time and as part of the College shows.
