a) Singing is time limited - Short and Sharp is best - 10 minutes of 'real' singing is more use than 30 minutes of 'going through the motions'.
b) A Game Plan is always best.
c) Keep Technical work, and Interpretive work as two individual sections;
Technical - Nuts and Bolts - Time, Words, Languages, Notes, Rhythms and Vowel Shapes.
Interpretation - What am I singing? What is the poem about? Who am I playing?

A VERY INTERESTING SYSTEM
It really works !
The Level system is not designed to cope with the whole piece at once (and you should know better than to try and practice the whole piece at once!), so the first thing you need to do is to divide your piece up into sections. Bits that are small enough to chew on properly.
A couple of lines for each section is usually plenty. Usually the best thing to do is to simply draw a line under every two lines of music. Go on. You're allowed to.
You've done that? Good. Now your big piece is lots of little pieces.
Bitesize chunks work. After trying the first chunk, DO NOT move on to the next chunk until you 'Pass' on the first chunk. Pass means ; All correct notes, All correct rhythms, All correct words.
So your song may have 6 or more chunks - call them Levels, and when you have 'Passed' Level 6, have a glass of wine/pint/chocolate........, and reward yourself!
SEEMS SO SIMPLE, YET RARELY DO STUDENTS ACTUALLY DO IT....DO YOU?
