Homework
1 hour per week. Homework will only be set depending on how the session goes and whether I feel the student would benefit from doing a bit of extra practise or research outside of the scheduled classes.Assessment
In our final session at the end of 8 weeks, I will conduct an informal assessment where the student will be expected to perform to me their chosen song that we have been working on. I will be assessing how far they have developed since our first class in their performance ability and whether they apply any of the technique they have learnt over the previous weeks. I will present to them verbally with my feedback and praise at the end of the class. Should a student feel they have more to develop and wish to continue classes, this does not have to be their last lesson and they are more than welcome to sign up for more.Class Experience
At the start of these classes, students will learn how to effectively warm up the voice in preparation for healthy singing. Then we will begin to analyse the song of their choice and the story it tells in order to evoke and depict emotion when performing the song, to further develop their acting skills as well as their vocal ability. Students will learn not only how to sing healthier but the different placement areas of the voice and how to use their full range. I will coach them through by showing them examples of widely known techniques that I have learnt throughout my training that have been effective for me.
Learning Goals
The goal of these classes is for students who simply love to perform to build their confidence in performing, improve their acting skills, expand their vocal technique in order to sing healthily, and learn how to captivate and hold an audience through song.
