You!

Yes that's right, two whole hours of fun filled performance with Nicola. Lets get straight to it as Nicola would say. "Now we'll start with our warm ups. I have got some new ones today for you to learn."
Warm up #1:
"Now this is a new warm up and it is called "you!" "Now what you have to do is point to someone and say 'you'."
I was thinking that was a pretty simple warm up and how it would help our voices warm up. But then I found out after we finished the WHOLE 'you' warm up.
After we finished pointing to people and saying "you" Nicola added her secret twist. This time we had to do the same thing, point to someone and say "you" but instead of doing it in a normal voice, we had to whisper and then get louder each time we said it. I found that a fun warm up. But no, just when I thought the 'you' warm up had finished, Nicola added ANOTHER secret twist to the warm up. We had to the exact same thing (point to someone saying you) but whisper then get louder and go back down into a whisper. Some of us kept going louder than the loudest you can get and then forgot to go back down again! But that didn't stop us from continuing where we left off. And then just as I thought we were done the warm up. Nicola added her next special twist and guess what it was? "Now onto the next warm up!" Nicola said. Did I trick you? I thought I did.
To round up what we did at performance I have added a LITTLE paragraph to tell you.

We did some warm up's as usual. We sang" Don't stop me now" by Queen again, and "Oh my" by Gin Wigmore. We also got a new song called "Life on Mars". It was a completely different song to "Don't stop me now" and "Oh my" because" Oh my" and "Don't stop me now" are fun songs and "Life on Mars" is a serious song. I didn't mind the song "Life on Mars", but I don't really like that type of music.

Ta da, TINY paragraph complete. Oh and before I end this blog I wanted to tell you that Nicola said I had improved on my expression. Which is spectacular! Now I am going to ask her what my next goal is for next week. I better not drag on too much longer so I will go now.
Bye bye
