Girls, for the 'Red' Talent Show performance in 'Good in the Hood' you will be singing 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles. Focus first on learning the lyrics so you can sing them from memory and then listen to the tune so that you have a good feeling for it. We will then work on getting it to performance standard once you have the lyrics and the tune memorised. Just practising for a few minutes a day will train your brain! Have fun. Here's a you tube link that might help you with your learning.
Here's three new tracks to listen to which are in a different key (the high notes are not so high!). Have a listen to them and try singing along with them. We need to make a decision about which backing track we use for the performance. See if you can sing the song confidently, without checking back on the lyrics, by the end of Week 5 (15 August). When you know all the words and can sing them easily without hesitating, then we can work on some aspects of performance that will really make a difference. Have fun...it's a great song with a cool message.
Here's another vocal version
Here's a backing track with some backing vocals as well
