Lesson details
Key learning points
- Rehearsing helps us to improve by identifying which parts of our performance needs working on.
- A round is a song structure where the same melody is sung in groups with each group beginning at regular intervals.
- Partner songs are made up of notes that sound good together. They sound pleasing together when sung to a steady beat.
- It is important to watch the conductor because they show us when to begin singing and help us keep in time together.
Keywords
Rehearse - to practise in order to improve and prepare for performance
Rounds - a singing structure in which a melody is sung in groups, with each group starting at regular intervals, to create texture
Partner songs - two or more separate songs that fit together musically when sung at the same time
Conductor - a person who directs musicians or singers
Common misconception
Rehearsing is just singing the songs through.
Rehearsing helps us to work out what needs further practice. It helps us know when to start and stop singing, to feel the steady beat and is a regular reminder to follow the conductor. Feeling more confident will enable a more accurate performance.
