Fitness Class #5
Type of Class: Basic Tap
Instructor: Germaine Salsberg
Assistant: Julie Garcia

     We did the usual warm up routine exercises then Julie emphasized the difference between "flap" and "slap" while doing a demo to class. She explained it quite well. We also practiced Shuffle and Shuffle, Ball Change. Our step of the week are the Military Time Step and Maxi Ford.  For combination, we did all steps that we studied and reviewed. It was fun and a fast pace class. I like the way Julie challenged and encouraged us that we can do it and almost all of us did. Germaine is still away so Julie took over and handled the class.

Daily Practice #5
Minutes: 30
Songs worked on: Daily Vocalization Exercises 1-5, Reviewed "Because" (alto part) from Across The Universe. Polishing sections that is not clear to me in terms of blending with other voices. Went over unclear passages to make sure I am fully-prepared for the show. As you can hear from the video, my voice was not in full shape (itchy throat plus the coughing) and I stopped on the highest note because I do not want to force my vocal cord.

 My practice studio for today is on the 10th floor, 10B.

This is only a portion of my daily practice (Exercise #5 - Pure Head Voice 1 from Daily Vocalization CD)

     Before I go, I would like to share this picture with you as I received the tee shirt I ordered online today which has a logo in front and at the back. I purchased this shirt because a portion of the income is going to the poor and the disadvantage community. This will be my motto from now on :)
