Before we started rehearsing the song we did the same warm up as we did last lesson because we thought it was effective and we knew it would help us prepare for rehearsing our duet. Once we finished the warm up we did a run-through of the duet and decided that we needed to break the song down in order to get the harmonies accurate.
We found that there were harmonies in the fourth verse, the bridge and there are a few in the last chorus. We decided to start with the harmonies in the fourth verse as they were the first harmonies we could hear in the song. Amelia found singing the melody along with the harmony fairly difficult so we decided to sing along to the original at first to see what it sounded like. Then we started by singing the melody a few times and I came in with the harmony. However, the first I came in with the harmony I made sure to be quiet and then get louder once Amelia had caught onto the melody and could sing along to the harmony. We tried this method for the bridge as well as we found it quite effective. Whenever one of us went wrong in the rehearsal we stopped where we went wrong and kept singing it until we got it correct. We did this so we would get used to singing the part we got wrong and also so we could improve the lines that we needed to improve.
We spent the lesson rehearsing the song and just making sure the harmonies sounded accurate. By the end of the lesson we agreed the harmonies sounded better than they did, but we still need to work on them to make them perfect.
