Professional Growth Observations
"Michele models and coaches student through warm up activities. Use of imagery and embodied practices are excellent. Student can clearly follow along successfully.
When approaching repertoire, Michele provides options for the student to determine what rep to work on and how to approach the material. For instance, she asks whether or not the student wants to hear the melody played before singing along; in guiding vocal warm ups, Michele begins by setting up the mechanics using modeling and imagery. As adjustments need to be made, Michele pauses, models, demonstrates, and returns to that imagery to successfully adjust the student’s performance.
Michele takes the time to reassure student of repertoire that might be challenging at this moment and understanding how their vocal change will impact repertoire. Repertoire coaching begins by reading through the text. Michele highlights the acting approach of the text - using paraphrasing to define action/tactic. This then contributes to the vocal approach of the song as Michele moves from speaking to pitch to intonation and delivery."
