Dear Ira,

Welcome to the course and so glad to see your first recording here! Did you have fun making funny faces with FunnyMouth? I see you’ve sung quite well! Keep up the good work and here are some stars FunnyMouth and Tootly have sent for you ✨✨✨✨✨

Dear Parent,
Welcome to the course. We hope your child is enjoying the learning process and is getting comfortable with the Tootly user interface. Please feel free to ask us any questions in this regard. We’ll do what we can to ensure you are able to continue smoothly.

Ira has a good, strong voice. This first exercise is to help kids free up their voices, become conscious to their ‘singing’ (vs talking, shouting) voice and understand the listen-sing mode of learning. Please see our point-wise feedback below:

Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Pitching – good
Rhythm – not applicable for this exercise
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – good
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent

Note:
In the first few exercises, to ensure we build pitch accuracy (which comes through listening and trying to imitate the singing), we’d recommend using part of the recording video where the character sings phrase by phrase and the child can listen and sing after it. Feel free to ALSO record on your own (part 3) as you have done.

Ira – do you remember what Tootly told us in the very first lesson – about music being what sounds nice? and about how to use our voices – not too soft and not too loud either. Keep that in mind every time you sing.

Dear Parent – Ira has an excellent voice, and can use her volume and breath well if she consciously controls it. We’d encourage you to replay her video for herself and see if she feels she can use a more ‘singing’ vs ‘shouting’ voice. Rather than correcting them every time, we try to make the child themselves sensitive to these aspects as part of their learning. She has understood the exercise and is able to recreate the notes fairly well too. Keep up the good work!

In every lesson that needs a recording to be done, you can scroll down and click on the RECORD button there. Scroll up and continue listening and signing with the video as usual. Once down, click STOP recording and download your file with just 1 click. On the submission page, you can attach the relevant file to continue. This way you don’t need a second device for recording. Hope this helps.

Look forward to meeting Ira soon. Please book a live meet from your dashboard (instructions will be sent on email too) once the child finishes Day 5.
