What went well:
Today was the first day that we tried singing our 'As it goes' song without having any piano behind it playing our melody or our chords. It was really interesting hearing everyone sing without having a piano behind, it felt like we all had to focus a lot more and hear the rhythm in our head and our vocal harmony parts sing as well. It was almost more tiring and required a lot more attention. Nether the less, I feel like the men vocals really had a good go at her harmonies considering we have really weird harmonies and we couldn't follow the bassline of the piano this time. Everyone else (Sopranos and the tenors) did really well to execute their harmonies as well.

What didn't go so well:
Sometimes me and the male vocalists couldn't here some of the low notes or weird chord parts so it was really hard to execute them, and sometimes because the other male vocalists like to go falsetto they go a whole octave higher which then goes higher than sopranos and puts everyone off their harmonies. Another thing was, our teacher got us to go in a circle to see if it would help us to listen to each other but in fact it made us lose our focus as everyone staring at each other kept making people laugh, but towards the end of the rehearsal, we all got it together and we were able to sing acapella with some good enough harmonies. Ending with a good experience of harmonised acapella.
