Teacher Monet trains the Scholars to sing from the heart

August 15, 2008 4:21 PM

Last night, Teacher Monet asked the Scholars to do free-written poems that will speak out their thoughts. He wanted all the Scholars to open up in a form of a song, so he required each of them to compose one, and present it tonight.

The main goal of this activity is to enhance the Scholars sincerity in terms of attacking their songs.


Considering that the lyrics of the song came straight from their hearts, he was expecting that the Scholars would be able to execute it with full blown emotions. He even asked all of them to put aside all other elements of singing for once, including melody, so they could concentrate on sincerely singing their songs.


Aside from that, he also wanted this activity to serve as a venue for the Scholars to freely express their emotions toward certain matters that concern them.


Iñaki started the presentation with his guitar-accompanied song. The thought of his song dealt mostly with other people’s misconception of him. He was able to highlight on all the issues that was thrown back at him. His song was somehow his form of defense against all his perpetrators.

Just like Iñaki’s piece, Cris’ song was also related to the intrigues raised about her. According to her, she isn’t as “impure” as others may perceive her; it just so happened that she’s pretty much true to herself compared to other women.


Miguel’s song also leaned towards his defensive side. Since he was always viewed as “non-existent” inside the Academy due to his lack of presence, he decided to write something that will clearly explain why he prefers to be alone most of the time.


All had the chance to share their originals. After that, Teacher Monet too shared a little piece of him with the Scholars. What could be the song that Teacher Monet shared and what does it represent? Who among them could possibly have a chance on becoming a good composer? Catch this story and more tomorrow on Uberture with Billy, right after They Kissed Again!
