 Subdividing Music

STEPS:
1. Find the primary beats in a measure.
2. Using counts, write how the main beats are subdivided.
 Let’s practice!

1. I will write in the counts for “Laudate Dominum”.

2. We will write them together.
3. Then, write all counts into your score by yourself.

 III. THE SINGER’S
STANCE

Identify and apply knowledge of the singer’s stance and subdivisions

through count singing “Laudate Dominum” by Dave Davison.
 Why Posture Is Essential
1. “The singing voice is a wind instrument… so proper breath
management is required to sing healthily.”
2. “Proper breath management is the foundation of good singing
technique, and the beginning of proper breath usage is correct
posture development.”
3. “When singers do not stand or sit properly, they are unable to breathe
sufficiently to support the voice.”
4. “The body is the instrument… it must be carried in such a way to
maximize the potential for positive voice production.”
