Did you like this new song? And do you remember the patterns Tootly made to draw a caterpillar from the notes? I see you’ve sung very well! Keep up the good work and here are some caterpillar friends for you! 🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛

Dear Parent,
This is a vocal exercise that every beginner student of classical music learns. Once the first stage of expanding the voice range, getting stability while singing, and being able to sing with ease in one direction (up or down) is achieved, students move on to exercises created by recurring patterns like these. Think of them like training exercises for their voices.
In this particular song, we are checking a few things: if students can manoeuvre the zig zag melody well, reach the correct highest point of the melody, and land back correctly at the starting point after completing the song.
Vedant has sung this quite well. Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Singing/ Pitching – good
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good
Notes: There are only some minor mistakes in the pitching (melody) as he sings. Considering he’s singing it independently, Vedant has done a great job – the second part is tricky and prone to accidents usually 🙂 When you re-encounter this lesson, I’d suggest practising in a lead-follow fashion (ie listen to each phrase and sing). This will take care of the feedback mentioned above.
