In these songs we are working on pitch jumps between low and high, we can practice this a number of ways such as using solfa hand signs and singing sirens from low to high or high to low. A suggestion for jumping pitches and hitting the right note is to jump above the note rather than below and make sure you are opening your mouth wide to let out your voice.
