Come in, sit down.
Let me look at the chart.
Is everyone here?
Great, let’s start.
Get up and move around,
yawn and stretch, make all the sounds.
From the top of your head
to your toes on the ground
now you’re a spring that’s tightly wound.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Release everything, now!
Blow raspberries and growl,
now you’re a flute,
and now you’re an owl.
Now climb the scale up
and slide all the way down,
and we skip a few steps,
and we widen our strides.
This should tickle your nose
and warm up your insides.
Breathe in, breathe out,
in, out, and stop.
Page thirty-four.
Let’s take it from the top.

I *really* miss singing in a choir.
