education music and dance

You are required to submit five video recordings.

1. A recording of you singing a song (this can have a recorded accompaniment or you can sing alone or accompany yourself on an instrument)

2. A recording of you singing a song and moving or dancing to it (recorded accompaniment or solo singing).

THIS YOU ARE TO DO

3. Three dances that you have choreographed.

• One to a piece of classical music
• one to a piece of popular music,
• one free choice.

One of these should be a solo dance and at least one should involve several dancers (on your video you can just include yourself but it should be clear how you interact with other dancers).

Option: You can substitute one of the dances with a short soundscape based on a picture. This can be done as a solo performance or with a group (which is often easier). Include the picture. The soundscape should have at least 3 sections and vary dynamics, tone colour  and texture.

The dances need be no longer than 2 minutes each. You can use excerpts of music.

THEN COMPLETE THIS IN WRITNG A PLAN

1. Brief written descriptions of your three choreographed dances. Include details of particular points or elements that you think will need attention. Specify age group.
2. Two lesson plans. One for your song and dance and one for one of your choreographed dances. Note that since learning a dance may take several lessons you need include only one lesson, but if you do you will need to include a brief outline (which need only be a sentence or two) of what will happen in subsequent lessons.
