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.
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 – very good
Rhythm – good
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent
Notes: Quite impressive, the ease and confidence with which you. are singing the exercise, Ekaagra. A couple of tiny mistakes (in the descending portion) but those won’t happen if you sing with Tootly, so its just a matter of that last 10% of practice. You can alternate between singing with Tootly and on your own.
More importantly – we like how your singing sounds like a song and not a collection of individual phrases – that makes it pleasing for a listener! Well done!
You’re almost halfway through the course, so keep the rhythm up!
The next recording is quite a few lessons away, but there is a live meet milestone in between. Please look out for the email notification once you complete Day 39. If you feel so, please schedule one before that too.
Look forward to meeting Ekaagra soon.
