In this lesson, Jeannie shows the students an exercise comprised of three descending sounds (two "E"s and one "ahh") followed by a descending legato version of those same notes (almost like a roll), followed by the same thee notes again, but this time all staccato. Jeannie accompanies on piano.
- This next exercise is almost all staccato but it's sneaky.…So this is what it sounds like.…(piano music and singing)…Notice right in the middle there…there's a little bit of a legato phrase…(piano music and singing)…but it ends in staccato, of course.…(singing)…so it just kinda glides and then releases.…
Here's the first part.…(piano and singing)…Do that with me.…(piano and singing)…Good, again.…(piano and singing)…Yes, one more time.…(piano and singing)…Good, now the middle part.…(piano and singing)…Do it again.…(piano and singing)…Good, one more time.…(piano and singing)…Good, let's do the first two parts together.…Use the ribs, expand them, and begin.…
(piano and singing)…And again, first two parts.…(piano and singing)…And again.…(piano and singing)…So you have ee-ee-ah, ee-ee-ah, ee-ee-ah.…It's the same pattern, in fact.…First two parts again.…(piano and singing)…And once more.…(piano and singing)…And the last part is...…(piano and singing)…Do that.…
(piano and singing)…Good, do it again.…(piano and singing)…Ribs expanded, do it again.…
