We had another amazing session with The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland this week.
To begin, we played warm up games as a class. It was fun and quite difficult as we had to make sure we were paying attention to everyone at all times.
After this, we split up into 3 groups of Music (Voice), Movement and Production.
As part of the music group, we closed our eyes to listen to all the sounds we could ear around us. Some of those sounds were cars, the wind and birds tweeting.
After this, we went inside to warm up our voices. We used the piano to sings notes. This was fun an we learned how singers should stand and how the breathe properly when performing.
After working in our groups, we all came together to feedback what we had learned.
Our music group told everyone how to warm up our vocal chords and that we were trying to make the sounds of what we hear in nature.
The production group told us that they had been making videos and creating different scenes like eating in a canteen and being on a construction site. They told us they used different materials to make the sounds you would hear in this situation.
Lastly, the performance group showed us what they had been doing. We were amazed at the performance they had created in such a short space of time. This group worked together to tell a story through movement. This taught us that we don’t need words to tell a story.
At the end of the afternoon, we reflected on what we had done and some people shared what they had learned and what their favourite part was.
Well done everyone for another great session!
