2- Identify and list the sounds farthest away from you.

3- Identify and list the sounds at a medium range from you.

At medium range from me, you can hear the voice of the soloist as she’s singing the song.

4- Identify and list the sounds closest to you (You can include internal sounds if noticed or relevant).

Closest to me, you can hear the sound of my own voice as I join in on the song and continue on through the arrangement.

5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity.

The sound level of the activity is quick. The song we’re singing is a ballad and it’s a great arrangement, so everyone is excited to sing it and join in.

7- Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment. Note: you need to try and figure out what sounds make up this environment and which of those sounds need to be there for the feeling of the environment to stay intact.

The three sounds which are essential to the sound environment are the sound of the music director speaking before we begin, the group as they sing the arrangement, and the soloist as she begins the song and we continue on.
