We decided to work on our ensemble piece today so we could perfect the harmonies and go over some parts of the song that we weren't overly sure on. Before we did this we did a group warm up challenging our vocal range by going up and down the scale of C as far as we could either way. We made sure we had a bottle with us as well during the rehearsal so we were hydrated.
The harmonies in the chorus had been perfected and we all knew what we were singing for that part of the song, but we weren't too sure on the verses of the song. We went through them as a group and revisited some of the harmonies we weren't confident on just to refresh our memory. Once we had figured out the harmonies of the song we did a run-through all together and decided it all sounded really good.
We performed to our teachers and they both said it sounded really good. They gave us feedback explaining that there were a few parts that sounded a bit flat so we just needed to be confident with what we are singing. Our teacher also said we all need to be louder to balance out the dynamics of the song. Evie needed to make sure she was heard above the harmonies, but I needed to make sure I was equally as loud to help carry the song and help carry the other harmonies. With these pieces of feedback we went and worked together to make sure the dynamics sounded correct and also to make sure how harmonies all sounded correct. We chose parts of the song we felt needed a bit more work and went off in pairs to try and perfect them, then we all come back together and rehearsed as a group showing our improvements.
