"Always Sing"

Week of April 6 - 10:

Reflection + Singing Performance

Part 1: Reflection

Complete the "Always Sing Reflection" doc (3 questions) OR share your answers aloud in your Flipgrid video.

Part 2: Singing Performance

1. Watch the videos in the Flipgrid and use the lyrics document to learn the whole song. Practice, practice, practice. (Take a video or audio recording of yourself while you practice to check your pitch, rhythm, breath support, tone, diction, and emotion.)

2. Use your answers from the reflection to help add emotion to your singing. Also, consider the bonus options:

   • rewrite the lyrics to create a Stuck at Home/School's Been Cancelled/Coronavirus-themed parody

   • perform the harmony during the chorus of the song (or improvise your own harmonies)

   • learn the chords on guitar/piano/ukulele, or recruit a family member to play with you; sheet music - chords in A - chords in G

   • build it into a music video! Consider using costumes/props, adding choreography, or recruiting a family member (including your pets!).

3. Once you've finalized your version, video record yourself singing the song using Flipgrid.
