Coaching with Cathy - Day One


As usual we start the day with a physical warm up session.

After our physical warmups with Jill, Cathy took us through some vowel matching exercises.

It took us a while to get it right!

The Leads had spent the morning up close and personal with Cathy and were ready to show the rest of us what they had learned.
Great stuff from the Leads - singing as a unit!

Today we had a birthday girl who blew out her candles at afternoon tea. Happy birthday Jill - great cake Robyn!

As well as the chorus tuition, Jan was getting heaps of instruction too. Cathy showed the chorus the importance of watching Jan's hands rather than her face and Jan practiced directing the 'story' of the song.

We all learned a valuable lesson.
Some points to remember from the day:
Correct vowel placement and mouth shape
Keeping the sound forward
Listen to your riser buddies and sing as a unit ......
Bring on tomorrow
