This week we have the 2014 hit ‘Heroes (We Could Be) by Alesso.
Join Stephanie and Sean Miller as they take you through some fun warm-ups, vocal health tips and teach you the song!
Accompaniments
Make and Create – Your Own Accompaniment with Shelley Gabriel.
Today we look at how to make accompaniments on the piano using simple chords. Shelley tells us about Alesso, the writer of this week’s hit, who had a meteoric rise to fame through working really hard to learn the art of DJing and went from nothing to being in the top 100 in the world in a matter of years!
Performance Tips
Stephanie Miller introduces today’s episode working on ‘Heroes (We Could Be)’.
We learn how the lyricist (song writer) of this hit Tove Lo was inspired by watching an episode of the TV series Heroes (2006 – 2010) and how it fueled her imagination to write this song. Stephanie gets you warmed up and links some of the singing exercises to yesterday’s Make and Create episode on the four chords used in this piece!
The Violin
Instrument of the week – Violin
Rachael England introduces this week’s episode (with a little help from Woofgang!) explaining the different roles of the violin and the many musical styles it is used for. While we learn what cats, tennis rackets, doctors, cows and violin strings all have in common, we are treated to some great violin playing as Rachael demonstrates its versatility!
