I was brimming with excitement and nerves before the first singing session for Wymondham Young Voices. No doubt that was how the children also felt. However, everyone was bubbling with enthusiasm and keen to get started.
After some amusing warm-up exercises (How many different noises can YOU make?) and some breathing exercises we were ready to sing our hearts out!
The children loved the mix of songs and were happy to try new things. Did you know there’s a gap just by your ear when you drop your jaw? We experimented making long phrases using our diaphragm to support our breathing whilst keeping our jaws nice and relaxed. It is quite tricky to do at first.
Mary Poppins songs proved to be very popular.
Next week I look forward to welcoming more members and developing the childrens’ skills.
