It will be an exciting session for boys and girls, from Year 3 to Year 6, and is free to attend. The hour will be filled with fun songs, drama games, and some serious learning as well.

Posture warm-up exercise

Good posture is an essential part of high-quality music-making. As we await the return of rehearsals, Lucy Morris offers this fun vocal warm-up – for our younger singers – as a reminder of the best positions for singing.

When you come back in September, or whenever it may be, I hope you’ll still remember all the different positions and their names.

Just as for rehearsals at Taplow Village Centre, participants will need a chair. Then, follow Lucy’s direction in the video below, as she cycles through the different positions.

  1. Standing up: feet apart, shoulders apart
  2. Sitting tall: straight back, sat at the front of your chair
  3. Sitting slouched: lazily reclining in your chair
  4. One hand on heads, the other on hips
  5. Dinosaur hands
  6. Jazz hands
