You Give Me Wings - Hady Mirza
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 9:44:00 PM


Lyrics.

Sometimes it's hard just to be yourself
I know you know
So close to tears wanting to give up
I felt all alone.....

But now you're here right by my side
And I just want you to know

You give me wings when I'm falling
You lift me up when I'm down
Taking me high touching the sky
Yeah,you make me fly...

Now I am stronger than I was before
Because of you
I feel so alive and I'm wanting more
I can't believe it's true
and now you're here,right by my side
Don't ever let me go.....

You give me wings when I'm falling
You lift me up when I'm down
Taking me high touching the sky
yeah,you make me fly...

Ooo baby, woah wooah
Come fly away with me.....

You give me wings when I'm falling

That's why I'm saying to you
Whoa...

You give me wings when I'm falling
When I'm falling
You lift me up when I'm down
When I'm down
Taking me high
taking me high
Touching the sky
touching the sky
yeah,you make me
You make me fly.....

You give me wings when I'm falling
Whooa yeah
You lift me up when I'm down
When I'm down
Taking me high
Taking me high
Touching the sky
Touching the sky
yeah,you make me
You make me fly.....

you give me wings...

Hey Choir :D I went to browse about Choir's old post,
and found this post that's worth sharing with the new
cohort of Choir members again :D ..! Sooo ENJOYYY :D

By Thendiana

Hello :D I found this quite boring but READ IT .! I WANT YOU TO READ IT .! lolll.
Ya newaez, its about singing loudly - quite a lot of you have problems of singing out loud. You know who you are lolll. So read .! Reading is good (:

How to sing out loud:
1. Try to sing notes that you feel comfortable singing at any volume. Notice how you go high in the voice or your throat feels like it's constricting, closing up tight. It appears that you can't sing the notes loud or at all when you go to too high of a range for your voice.

2. Adjust your body so you sing with the support of your diaphragm. Muscular structure, called a diaphragm, envelopes the lungs. The area of the diaphragm also involves the ribs, lower sides, bottom and back.

3. Place your finger near your mouth and breathe out. Feel how fast the air comes out. The air needs to come out slower and more evenly.

4. Use your diaphragm to support your breath by pushing down with the diaphragm against your ribs. Let the air out of your lungs slowly. Feel the air come out slowly on your fingers. Practice this a few times.

5. Try to sing the notes using your diaphragm as support. Take in air through your nose and relax as you sing your notes pushing the diaphragm against your ribs.

6. Sing so people hear you, and that requires confidence and willingness to be heard.



Tipsy ~
  • When you feel yourself pushing on your vocal cords and your throat feels tighter, you need to engage your diaphragm more.
  • Try singing with a lit candle close to your mouth. If the candle flame blows out, the air came out too fast and hard. You want the candle to remain lit throughout your singing.
  • Breathe the air out fast, the diaphragm supports nothing and just sits in the body. Breathe the air out very slowly, the diaphragm holds and contracts the stomach muscles. A smart singer uses his diaphragm muscular structure to control his singing breath as air releases during singing.

Practice dates
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 8:49:00 PM
Hey ! Holiday practice dates are out ! PLEASE TAKE NOTE..!!!

Tuesday - 7th September 2010 ; 2pm - 4.30pm

Thursday - 9th September 2010 ; 8.30am - 11am

Saturday - 11 September 2010 ; 3pm ( Actual performance day )


Disciplinary actions will be taken on those who missed practice deliberately.
Punishments of skipping choir practice will be announced soon.

Also, students absent on Tuesday (2nd September 2010) & Singing Telegram (31 August 2010), please remember to submit your punishments on Tuesday (7th September 2010). Students who failed to submit it will have to do the punishment again times 2. Thanks a lot. :D

Really hope you guys will learn from this and try to bring it up as a group during choir practice if you guys already know that a big group you will not be free on that certain day. But you must inform us at least 2 weeks before, so we can make special arrangements for it. Thanks a lot :D

Teacher's Day Telegram
12:58:00 PM
Hey guys.! Well done for the Teacher's Day Telegram. Though it wasn't really smooth at the start.. Cause the
moment we gathered at 9.45am.. The Fire Alarm broke out.. Ha.! But we managed to complete the given task at that end.! Given that this year was the first time we're doing it, it's very Clappable already.! :D

Of course, discipline actions will be taken against the students that deliberately absent themselves from the event. So if you guys know the students who absent themselves.. Tell them to be prepared for punishments.!
Its to be fair for the other students who missed their lessons for the sick of the events. Don't need to run away, cause i've taken attendance for both the 7am and 9.45am gathering, so i know the ones who were absent..

Sooo, our next performance is coming up.! September 11th , Charity Dinner. Two songs are already picked.
Which is "Just A Single Voice" & "关怀方式" So please take the initiative to practice and memorize it at home.! :) Thanks.

**SOUND TRACK FOR JUST A SINGLE VOICE....!!!
