Directions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Anticipatory Set\/Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Students walk into the classroom and written on the white board is the message please do not use your voice at all for now.\u00a0\u00a0The teacher will probably need to stand in the front of the class to be sure the students see the message and follow through.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Transition:\u00a0\u00a0Tell the students that it is time to break the silence and discuss how valuable the voice is.\u00a0\u00a0Explain to the students that in a theatre performance whether it is a musical or not, the voice is an important tool to use and needs to be exercised just as the body is exercised.\u00a0\u00a0Go into the vocal warm ups (see attached handout).\u00a0\u00a0The students will be lying down at one point so the room needs to have a large amount of open space, or take the students to another room or the stage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>DIRECTIONS, MODELING, GUIDED PRACTICE AND GROUP PRACTICE:<\/p>\n<p>These will all happen throughout this teaching experience.\u00a0\u00a0The teacher will explain the warm up, model the warm up, let the group practice the warm up, and give guided practice where needed.\u00a0\u00a0This will be done for each exercise.\u00a0\u00a0Students will probably be giving other comments and ways to warm up that they may have learned from choir, being in musicals, and such.\u00a0\u00a0Please allow this pooled knowledge to be discussed and even practiced where practical.\u00a0\u00a0The teacher can also let students teach and demonstrate what they know in this field.\u00a0\u00a0Tongue twisters are also fun and some students usually have some of their favorites to share.\u00a0\u00a0When it comes time to do voice styles explain the different styles and play examples of them from musical shows.\u00a0\u00a0Encourage the students to try these different styles and perform them in class.\u00a0\u00a0This can be done by them singing a common song such as \u201cAmerica\u201d or \u201cJingle Bells.\u201d The teacher along with each student can help the student decide which style of singing best fits their abilities at this time.\u00a0\u00a0Those who sing classical songs need the ability to support from the diaphragm and open and relax the throat.\u00a0\u00a0Others may be more comfortable singing in a pop fashion style, while still others who have a hard time carrying a tune can do better at speak singing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CLOSURE:<\/p>\n<p>At this time explain to the students that they now they have their voice range, type, and style which should help them narrow down their musical songs to perform.\u00a0\u00a0Remind them how the voice is an extremely valuable tool in theatre and they need to always exercise it just as they do their bodies.\u00a0\u00a0Let the students know that next class they will have time to pick their final musical performance, and if they do not want what is available at school then they must bring in their own musical choice for their next class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Students will be assessed throughout the class period on their participation and effort in doing the warm ups and trying different styles of voices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Objective Students will demonstrate an understanding of the importance of vocal warm ups and
