Question about Rockschool Grades… (Singing Teachers)
Question about Rockschool Grades… (and a fun game perhaps!)
What are the best answers for:
What is the difference between head voice and chest voice?
Why is it important to warm up before singing?
What is the meaning of the ‘break’?
What is the meaning of ‘transition’?
How do you support a long sustained note?
Give an example of each of the following:
a) A type of food that would be good to eat before a performance?
b) A type of food that would not be good to eat before a performance?I just want to make sure I have a well-worded answer for my student to revise, as I don’t think I’m explaining it in a way they will remember!
Also… what’s good to eat before a performance?! Perhaps I actually need to know this…!

There isnt an ‘official’ answer, i tend to get my student to work on a different question per week and see what they come up with. Then i tell them if there is anything i think they should add etc:)

I get terrible acid reflux whilst performing if I eat anything within a 2 hour gap before going on stage. But I think that’s just because I throw myself around a bit too much! Ha. In terms of the difference between chest and head voice – I have always been taught and understood that it is where the sound is resonating in the body. Could I be wrong? :S

Yes that’s pretty much how I say it. I’m questioning myself because a GRADE is involved lol
