Heeeyy,
In the holidays I aim to practice at least 4 to 5 times a week. In these practice sessions I hope to practice for about an hour. In the hour it will include, warm ups, teachnique work, and practice my acctualy recital pieces.
When I warm up I warm up my mouth muscles, i do some breathing exercises and warm up my ear's my listening to the piece I am practicing at least twice.
The technique work I will do in the holidays is to sing through some basic scales witha  metronome (I will be buying one). And sing near my keyboard and sing through more scales and play them on the keyboard to make sure that I am in the right key.
My strategies for practicing my recital pice is to make sure I have the words in front of me, listen through the song fully. Go back to the start of the song and listen to the first verse then sing through it, and if I need to make any notes for the first verse I write it on the page with the lyrics. I will slowly go through the hole song by breaking it up into verses and listenign to the track and then finally I will be able to get through the hole song.
I hope to achieve this these holidays so when we come back to school I am wll prepared for the new year ahead.

Hey,
I practice best when I get home from school because I'm wide awake. I always practice in my bedroom because I like to practice alone, so no one can hear me. I like to be relaxed when I practice because I feel that I am able to get high notes out and use my head voice better. When I practice I like to have a big bottle of water near by and sometimes something I can eat. When I practice it usually goes for about 15 minutes, sometimes I do get a little bit lazy and do 10 minutes.
When I practice I go through the songs I'm learning, in my classes. I like to break it down by going through each verse slowly and then once I have gone through all the verses I sing the song from the very start all the way through. I like to have the words in fron tof me so i can write notes on it as I go.
I usually practice 3 times a week but I will have to start practicing at least 5 times to make sure I am prepared for my performace.
