2. Content-
|
Diaphragmatic Pressure, Sustained notes, controlled breathing |
|
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. Having students be able to pulse notes using diaphragmatic pressure.
In various registers
2. Having the student be able to sustain a pitch with accurate intonation.
3. Have Students experience different sensations that occur while
singing properly. |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. Teach students the warm-up
2. have the students echo my example.
3. have the students move the warm-up chromatically ascending and
descending |
|
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
1. Greet the class
2. Explain what Diaphragmatic pressure is.
3. show the class how to produce this by having them support a tone
then having them press on there appoggio gently (creating the pulsing
effect) |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Have the class sing a tone and pulse 4 times on a single note
after I demonstrate it for them.
2. Have the class sustain the note for 4 beats.
|
|
|
C. Practice-
Repeat the same exercise moving up chromatically
|
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Once I feel that the class understands the concept of the Warm-up
I will stop singing and will allow the class to warm-up without me
|
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. The warm-up will start in mid-voice and move up chromatically..
2. for lower voices I will repeat the exercise this time descending
chromatically.
|
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
1. While the students are singing I will observe them to see if
they are creating a clear resonant tone and if they are moving in
sync with each other. (If a child is not moving with the rest of the
choir I will know that they are out of time).
2. at a later point I will have students warm-up individually for
further examination. |
|
|
G. Closure-
I will move into another warm-up or will proceed to work on choir
material. |
