Tootly Teachers (Administrator) March 20, 2023 at 10:20 am

Dear Ramanathan,

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! πŸ›πŸ›πŸ›πŸ›πŸ›

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.

Ramanathan is singing well with the help of Tootly. We encourage him to now practice to sing on his own too. Go step by step and listen to tootly before singing on your own. Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):

Confidence and Independence – good
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Singing/ Pitching – good
Rhythm – good
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – good
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good

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 Ramanathan soon.
