We’re almost there! You have the Accuracy down. You are Confident in the song. You are now singing with Energy and Enthusiasm. Terrific! So now you can move to the next level of the song, the I portion of ACE IT.

We have all heard our directors, coaches, and music educators speak of the importance of breathing correctly when we sing. We go through exercises during warm-ups each week to reinforce that notion. We hope that the repetition will translate into the songs that we sing. Unfortunately, that doesn’t often happen.
