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.
