Teaching Techniques

Today we had training again. My biggest concern with the chorus lately is the lack of good voice quality in each individual. I think the trainees still have those really thin, wispy voices that would be weak in Umewaka Sensei's words.

I taught them about energy and basically made them chant louder so that their voices would fill up the room. Today I made a breakthrough in my teaching technique. I tried to give physiological things that they can do to enhance their voices and I think it worked well. Marisse was the only one who I tested it on but I think she got it and she noticed the difference herself.

Hahaha also JP's constant nagging of more energy was helpful too ;P
