Recorder performance

I posted two Recorder performances because I was not for sure if they loaded properly.

Instrumental Music

This video is a flute solo and is depicted as part of the woodwind family because it is an instrument that blows across a surface to create sound.

In this video we see a Tuba being played. The Tuba falls into the brass family because you buzz your lips into the instrument to produce sound.

This woman is playing the Harp, which falls into the string family. You can clearly see that she is plucking at the strings to produce the sound.

In this video you can hear the drums being played. The drums fall under the percussion family because you must strike them to produce sound.

Teach a Song: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

I showed you in the video a visual aid for a contour map to help you better understand the step motion of the song. A contour map is very helpful when teaching students a song because it gives them a good understanding of the different pitches in the song.
I also apologize for my singing, its never been my strongest ability.

Week 7: Vocal Technique

I chose this video because it contains multiple examples of bad vocal techniques. In each audition the performers pitches were very off and they were out of tune. They had horrible posture and their breathing techniques were off as well. Most of their jaws were not relaxed and their eyebrows rarely were raise.

The girl in this video has great breath control and is very in-tune. Her pitches seemed to be on point with the song and she had a very relaxed jaw and her eyebrows were up as she was singing. She produced her high and low keys without a struggle in transition as well.
