Continuing my series on PREPARING for PERFORMANCE this week: Rehearsing, Memorising, Preparing for Your Audience, Nerves & Microphone Use.
1. Committing music & words to MEMORY gives singers increased ownership of the music & opens up a greater freedom of communication.
2. The foundation for MEMORISING music & song is repetition.This repetitive process shouldn't be sterile & mindless, but creative & enjoyable.
3. Learning MUSIC & WORDS take place in different parts of the brain. It becomes easier to MEMORISE if you address one of these at a time.
4. Singers find it easier to commit music to MEMORY rather than words. Treat the lyrics as text which can be recited independently of the music.
5. Once the words have been committed to MEMORY independently of the music, the process of rehearsal reconnects them with the music.
