🎶🎤 Loreto MUSIC FESTIVAL FINAL 🎤🎶 After the incredible performances by Lauren and Louisa at Townhall in the past, this year I had the pleasure of witnessing Phoebe take the stage once again. The confidence Phoebe showed while performing was truly inspiring, and I couldn't be prouder of her! Music has the power to bring people together, and I'm grateful for these uplifting moments that remind us of the beauty of art. 🎶#MusicFestival #TownhallStage #ProudMoments #PassionForMusic #InspiringPerformance
1. Watch the whole musical/movie-so you know exactly who you are. You are not just singing one song from the musical. You are HER. 2. Well use of different onset/sound/dynamics 3. Strong breathing support (appear effortless but the whole body is in action) 4. Full on costume and make up that you are exactly “HER, the character” 5. Careful design and choreograph the best use of the stage space All the technical work should be prepared prior. On the stage , you only need to think about these: “I am Lydia from Beetlejuice (insert your character name)” “I totally love this and you totally love me”  🎸🤘Congratulations to both of my talented students named Emma, who competed in their respective Battle of the Band competitions!
Emma Morris’s band (Sydney) won first place in Battle of the Band 2023 at Redland School (3 years in a roll 2021, 2022 and now 2023!!) Emma Chuo-The Lopsiders (Taipei) represented Taipei European school and won Battle of the Band 2023 in Asia! 🎉 Keep on rockin' My Emmas! 🎶🤘 #battleofthebands #musiccompetition #talentedstudents #proudeducator #sydney #taipei #redlandschool #taiwaneuropeanschool #rockon #musicislife #thelopsiders 🎭🎶 Calling all students! If you’re ever given the chance to be a part of your school‘s musical, I always encourage you to take it.
It’s one of the best and most fun experiences you can have in life, whether you‘re playing the lead role or in the chorus. The friendships you’ll make and the memories you‘ll create will stay with you for life. 🤗 Marielle and Maddie, will take on the lead roles in their respective school productions. Marielle is playing Cinderella in Willoughby School’s musical ”Into the Woods“, while Maddie is taking on Donna in Queenwood‘s production of ”Mamma Mia“. As their teacher, I wish them both all the best and hope they have a blast on stage! Break a leg, girls! 💃🎉 #schoolmusical #theatre #musicaltheatre #intothewoods #mammamia #leadrole #chorus #friendship #memories #proudeducator #breakaleg I taught Alicia and Lauren since they were young. Alicia is the cake designer for my birthday this year and I invited the girls back for dinner and a sing along! Love you girls. And Alicia your cake is amazing. One of my favorite technique to improve phrasing and resonance is using Bruno Mars’ “Talking to the moon”
I remember when Zack, who has only been singing for a term, started out very shy and hesitant to share his voice. But recently, after recording this song, he surprised us all by deciding to compete in the upcoming eisteddfod! 🎤 There’s something truly magical about the power of singing and its impact on our well-being. 💫 It’s incredible to witness the transformative effect that music can have on our students. Keep reaching for the stars, Zack! 🌟 #Singing #Music #Wellbeing #BrunoMars #TalkingToTheRain #Eisteddfod #ProudTeacher #everysusiestudentsingstalkingtothemoonasbeginners I had the pleasure of seeing the Ascham school music theatre production of Drowsy Chaperon, and I have to say, I was blown away! Lauren had the leading role and Evie was the school captain, and they both gave outstanding performances that had me on the edge of my seat. The whole production was of such a high quality, and I couldn’t be more proud of all the talented students involved. 🎭👏 #AschamSchool #DrowsyChaperon #ProudTeacher #AmazingPerformances #MusicalTheatre 🎶 I had a unique experience recently when my friend Wayne, the Director of Music in Barker College, asked me to take on a HSC student who had just transferred from piano to voice. At first, I thought Wayne was kidding, I was yelling at him that singing is not the backup choice for instrumentalists.
Wayne convinced me to meet Ethan. He is a very humble and diligent boy. I was determined to help him, knowing that time was limited with only one term left before his assessment. Our strategy was to work with what he had and select repertoire that would highlight his strengths, which were limited as he had never sung before. Ethan worked tirelessly on improving his support, phrasing, and confidence in such a short time. It was the toughest HSC case I have ever worked with, but I am impressed by his dedication. Here’s a clip from his school for his HSC assessment, and I am incredibly proud of how far he has come in one term. Well done, Ethan! 🎤 👏 #HSC #VoiceAssessment #HardWorkPaysOff #ProudTeacher #MusicEducation #VocalDevelopment |
