Long Notes Practice

This is another video showing long notes practice performed by Alexa Ovilia (12 years old). We picked the song "Somewhere" (from Westside Story) for her. This song might sound simple but actually strong voice is required to sing it and the interval skips are also very tricky. It is a really good song for intermediate students. It helps to develop strength and voice elasticity. This is the 2nd lesson of Alexa singing "Somewhere". We will upload her next recording in the near future.

 

 

Our students might not be perfect for some people, but we are training them to perfection. We upload their video because we have confident in them and we believe it helps their progression. Listening to your own recording is the best way to evaluate yourself instead of just being spoon-fed by teacher.

Fine Arts Drawing

In our training center, drawing students are introduced to the fine arts drawing technique which means, they will be trained on how to draw from the very basic steps starting from black and white sketching, understanding the shading technique, so realistic and dimensional pictures are not impossible to draw even for a beginner level.

How about about coloring? Yes, we do train students on coloring, but not just simply coloring as in common. Coloring are done step by step to get the proper shade and tone to make the picture drawn even more realistic and close to the real objects.

Below we are showing a few steps of coloring technique taught in our training center.

Pictures shown are drawn by the teacher of The Art Center, Sir Eko.

Voice Student

Voice lesson is not just about training students to sing the right notes and memorizing the text, but it  involves the technique of voicing, dynamic, musical interpretation, stability and also developing strong voice. Here we are showing one of our dilligent student practising long notes and high notes. We picked the song "Tomorrow" (from the motion picture Annie) for Mathilda as the practice material. This song is a good choice to learn long notes and powerful high notes. She did quite well in this recording. We will soon upload her next recording. Keep up, girl!
