Rehearsal Summary - October 30th
That was a fantastic rehearsal! Hope you had as much fun as I did. Here is a brief summary.
Happy Hallowe'en to all those who are celebrating today! It was great to see some costumes and to hear all about your Halowe'en plans.
Welcome Song: "Good Evening..." (singing and movement with student-led creation; labeled the full form ABACA and learned about the term rondo form.)
Warm-Up: "This is my singing voice..." + imaginative spooky voices + student-led creation
Happy (Belated) Birthday to Ipek
Pat-a-Pan Verse 1: Targetted note and rhythmic accuracy work
Pat-a-Pan Movement: pretending to play flutes, pretending to play drums
Community: Happy Halloween! & mini discussion of celebrations after Hallowe'en (Dia de Los Muertos, Diwali, Christmas, Hanukkah) to give some context to our repertoire. "What do you love about the holiday season?"
