Acapella

Acapella is a type of group singing where you recreate a whole song without instrumentals, just voices. This proves a challenge, as every part has to be in tune and in time.

Hosted by Ms. Cho and Mr. Galvagni, students worked on an acapella version of Bellyache by Billie Eilish. The first session focused on figuring out your voice rangesoprano, alto, tenor, or bass!

The rest of the time they delved into learning their parts, whether it was beatboxing, lead vocals, or inner harmony. Ms. Cho shared her expertise as a former member of the Smith College Vibes, the acapella group from her college. Mr. Galvagni shared "shape singing" which is a way of reading music, and was our only bass. In the end, we were able to sing Bellyache acapella style, and we all took away some new singing knowledge!
