Oh Happy Day

We worked on "Oh Happy Day" for the whole lesson today. "Oh Happy Day" is the piece that I have a solo part in. Ms.Leong made me, and the male soloist stand in the middle with a microphone, whilst the rest of the choir stood around us in a circle. The first time we went through the song, i was so nervous that I went off pitch for a few times, but after several more practises, and encouragement from Ms.Leong and my friends, I managed to calm down and sing with more confidence.
After the lesson I asked for feedback from Ms.Leong, and she said I should "let my voice go more. I'm not giving it my bestest yet" - she needs to hear the 'uumph' in it. And my friends told me that I should try to relax more.. i seemed quite tense and my voice was a little shaky. So these will be what i'll focus on improving for next week, I'll do so by practising the song a LOT (eg. in the shower).
