Title: Rehearsing A Dream Within a Dream composed by Ruth Morris Gray Grades: 10-12 (Recital Women) Materials: Piano, copies of A Dream Within a Dream for each student Length of Rehearsal: 15 minutes Objective: The students will be able to analyze the piece to add expressive elements to the music. Focusing Question: In what ways will students be able to take their own ideas and emotions with the piece and apply these to their singing? Sequence: 1. The class will sing through the piece. I will ask them to think about the meaning and the sound of each section. 2. The students will break into groups of 4 and analyze the sections. -Why is the section marked p, mf, etc? -Happy, sad, questioning, exclamatory -Why do sections come back? How are they different? 3. We will sing through at least a section of the piece with these new ideas in mind -I would like to get through the entire piece again -The students should not forget tall, round vowels; clear consonants; phrasing
