"Let's sing along to the music and rhythm. Let's shout out loud."
(Preschool Class) in Takeshiba.
We held a music program (Guest Instructor: Merlion (singer-songwriter))!

What do you think it feels like to hear your own voice through a microphone, through the equipment, and through the speakers?
Does my voice sound different than usual?
■Parroting (Rhythm → Melody)
First, let's do some warm-up exercises for our voices!
I'll follow Mr. Merlion's lead and speak up.
Christmas
Gift
Reindeer
Loud Voices and Soft (Whispering) Voices
Why don't you try saying it while tapping your foot!?
I also discovered the differences in how each person speaks.
What if I set that voice to music…?
■Rhythm Play
In this quirky writing game, each person takes turns speaking out loud.
For each team,
When?
Who?
Where?
What did you do?
We'll explore this.
When I use a microphone, I feel a slightly different kind of excitement than usual.
We all ended up laughing at the weird essay we wrote.
In the end, Mr. Merlion added the melody
Everyone's Weird Essays Turned into Songs!

The voice we use every day without even thinking about it.
When I tried to perform it again, I actually felt a little nervous. I also felt like using the microphone added a bit of a special touch.
See you next month!
