Date & location - 19-01-2023 LESSON 5

Initial situation - Which knowledge or interests present in the student(s) does this lesson connect to?
In this lesson Enzo wanted to sing again the piece that I gave him to study and so we
did it applying everything that he learned until now.

Purpose(s) of the lesson What skills did the student learn/strengthen at the end of this lesson?
- We worked more on the text and the “o” vowel an at the end of the lesson was better.

In what musical way does the student show these skills at the end of the lesson and at
what level?
At the end of the lesson Enzo was singing in a more “compacted” way in terms of
vowels. They were less opened, they were all more connected and the “o” vowel on the
higher note (E) it was more connected to the body.
Through which steps/sub-goals does the student achieve this result?
By doing some exercises in the “o” vowel where we do a glissando from the lower to
the higher note (exercise in 3rds) and also by bending the knees while going to the
higher note.
(If you are assisting or observing: ask the teacher)

Teaching materials - What teaching materials are used?

none.

Lesson planning

Start of the lesson How is it ensured that the student feels welcome and safe?
The lessons are a very opened space for the student to make mistakes and to question
all that he needs to ask without feeling that he is going to say something wrong, so
2 minutes with this I know and I feel that it becomes a safe space to work on.
Is there a warm up? Is the homework checked?
There was homework to be checked yes and we always do a warm up before starting
to sing a piece.
Does the student have a learning wish for today? If so: does that t in with the lesson
goal?
His only wish was to sing the piece and we did it using an accompaniment.
How is it ensured that the student's knowledge required for this lesson becomes
active?
I would say due to the repetition of the exercises it will then become more and more
automatic. So normally the end of the lesson is where I can see that the student is
applying the knowledge of the all lessons.

 Introduction of the How is it ensured that the student understands the purpose of the lesson?
plan for the lesson
We always talk in the beginning of the lesson what I plan on doing so that everything
3 minutes (in total) gets clear for the student and also if there are any doubts about anything from the past
lesson or about what I plan on doing then I try to explain it in a di erent way.
Are the skills demonstrated?
Yes.
How is it ensured that the student understands why the subject matter is important?
I try to be as clear as possible by trying to explain what I mean in di erent ways in the
student doesn’t understand.

Learning process How is a safe learning environment ensured?

In every lesson I start by asking how the day was, how the person is feeling, how is his/
her body felling.
25 minutes (in total)
Which steps or sub-goals lead from what the student can already do to what the
student can learn?
He knows better his vocal lines so now we can also start working more on the
expression of the text.
Which working methods are used for these steps/sub-goals?
We rst speak the text as if we are telling it so someone and after we try to sing it with
the same intention.
How will it be ensured that the student will soon be able to continue independently at
home without help?
I would say by repeating the exercises and also by understanding the meaning of them.

Conclusion How is it checked whether the student has actually understood everything?
5 minutes When we do the exercises one time after the other and he does it bad one time and
good the other time and I ask him what changed, what he did di erent and he gives me
the right answer.
How is it checked whether the student knows how to develop himself further at home,
so what should be paid attention to during practice?
By understanding what we are focusing on this speci c lesson and by understanding
that it is a process that takes a lot of time to make it better. So every lesson we try to
focus on the same points so that we can develop them better.

Short situation sketch What was the atmosphere like during class? How was the room? Were there su cient

Everything was very good.

Skills learned What did you learn from this lesson? What has the student learned? Name cognitive,
a ective and/or motor skills if relevant.
I learned that when we use expression and we give an intention to a phrase it comes in
a much easier way.
Enzo learned that singing the poem with the real meaning of the words helps him to
just not be so stuck on his mind.

meaning and singing with giving a meaning.

Method(s) and Which teaching material and teaching materials were ultimately used and in what
repertoire used order? Was there a xed teaching method or was the lesson given more intuitively?
We warmed up the body.
