We’re so happy that you are on your way to completing the first course. Great job with starting a new hobby that you will hopefully continue to enjoy and nurture. I see you’ve tried well…you have learnt to say the lyrics comfortably but pls see our notes below to get better at the singing part.

Dear Parent,
This vocal exercise is part of the set that all students of classical music learn. Once the first stage of expanding the voice range, getting stability while singing, and being able to sing with ease in different directions is achieved, students move on to exercises created by jumping notes like these. Think of them like training exercises for their voices.
In this particular song, we are checking a few things: if students can jump and land correctly. Just like coming down a slope, the downward pattern is even more difficult and tests if the students have begun to create mind-maps of the notes.
Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):
Confidence and Independence – good, needs some work
Understanding of the concept or exercise – good, needs some work
Singing/ Pitching – needs some work
Rhythm – good
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good
Notes: Yes, this is a tough exercise so don’t worry if you are not singing it independently yet. Keep practising with Tootly.
You can listen to 2 or even 3 at a time (instead of 1) phrase and then repeat.
Aim to start singing on your own in a few practices.
It would be good to repeat this exercise and email the file to [email protected] after few practices. Record along with Tootly reference if needed.
You’re in the final stretch of Course 1 – so keep up the pace. You will also get a Course Completion Certificate soon.
Hope you enjoy the last few lessons of Course 1. Ask us details of Course 2 if you’d like to continue your musical journey with more fun, more lessons and take the hobby forward.
