			Bismillah Assalamualaikum,
warahmatullahi wa, basic vocal
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:19
			exercises include steps, jumps,
drops and skips. Steps are basic
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:27
			upward or downward sounds in
clean, in clean, untainted
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			variations.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			That's eight. And then you
descend. Ah,
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:40
			ah,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:50
			good, it's important to try them
slow and then fast, and then you
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			may even have some pauses in
between. The pauses Show Control.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:54
			Ah,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			ah,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			so just lengthening a few in
between, that's as if you have
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			paused on the step. Then you have
your jumps. Your jump is to start
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:22
			on a particular level and then
ascend to one higher step, but not
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			to linger the before you return to
the one that you started with. So
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			have them in sets of two,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			three.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			You can do it an endless amount,
but you have to be in control.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			Then number three, you have the
reverse, which is a drop. You
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:00
			start on a step and go to one step
lower than it, but do not linger.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			And then you return to the one you
started with.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Can you hear dropping?
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			They added two. They added three.
So work on them and then last, but
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:29
			in no way least, you have to
practice skips, where you start
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			with an initial amount of steps
and then skip the ones in between.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			So if you were to do four, for
example,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			remember the sound of your first
Step and the last step, ah,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:55
			and the reverse ah.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			Ah,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:14
			you can have a combo of steps and
jumps and drops and skips all
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			together.
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
			Ah, listen to that again and
practice.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			Ah, let's do five.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:42
			Ah,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			ah, we skipped the ones in
between. You can have your own
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:53
			combos, try them out, work with
them. But these are the
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			fundamental building blocks, the
building blocks of all melody,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			your steps, your jumps, your drops
and skipping,
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			the steps in between, in between,
sounds
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			work on them, and all of the best
inshaAllah as.
