Much like the school calendar, we think of September as the starting of a new year at Young Midlothian Singers! We are excited about our three sessions this year, in the fall, winter and a shorter "Patriotic" session in the Spring before school gets out. We know there will be a lot of growth in vocal ability, performance technique and overall confidence. We look forward to sharing again with the community the joy we find in music.
We hope everyone enjoyed a fun and relaxing summer. We were anxious to see everyone today for our first fall rehearsal, especially as we welcomed some new faces!
Our rehearsals are typically divided into 3 segments. Warm-ups, Lesson/Technique, and Music Rehearsal. Our warm-ups today included "Lip Trills" which help to loosen up the tongue, jaw and face prior to singing. We sounded like a bunch of motor boats and all got really itchy noses...just try it!
The excitement always builds as we start looking through the notebooks and the kids realize what song they will be singing this session! Though our program will include a lot of holiday songs, we started today on many of our songs more universal in theme. "I Believe in Music" seemed a quick favorite.
Throw your CDs in the car and get the songs stuck in your head! Can't wait 'till next week!
