This week:
We vocalized on: humming, me-me, yah-yah, be-be, oh-ah, everybody's favorite, and added more scats! She's doing really hard stuff! and she LOVES doing really hard stuff! It's wonderful!
This week we worked on performance technique, relaxing into high notes, continued with our forward placement, and nervous ticks!
Performance technique: We continued to work on Abby's actions to her song. We also had Ella come down for the last few minutes of Abby's lesson so that she had an audience. Even adding one person brought out all Abby's nervous ticks - and her "singing monster". It was awesome that we were able to see it and deal with it before she's in front of a large audience!
When Abby is in front of people - she goes back into her throat and gets timid. (Both very common nervous ticks) The first time she performed for Ella, this happened. Then, after we talked about it, her singing monster went away and Abby's strong voice came back! Through more performance technique lessons - this'll go away in no time!
It was great!
