CHORISTER CORNER

Monday October 27, 2025

Welcome to Hannah! It's great having another great chorister in the Junior Choir!

The Prep Choir rehearsed with the Juniors today. Mike reminded us of the text in Snowman, where did you go?" Good work learning the text to the song. Sing along to this recording. https://youtu.be/Bu9Jz-L7OmM?si=XovD1kr4p5tBttZ7

Snow is Falling - on "Still, Still" be light on the second quarter note. This is almost memorized. Follow along with this choir as you practice each line. https://youtu.be/DSsPvnPpNnE?si=0rds5ZD7tjBhyi1T

If the Snow Could Sing - this is almost memorized as well. Look over the text. You can use this recording when you practice - https://youtu.be/Z0Z-p_YwXtc?si=hfq5N1LGa2JAuP_1

Please listen to instructions and comments during rehearsal. It's important to listen to whomever is talking so that we don't repeat questions during the rehearsal.

Amazing singing today. Here are a few things to remember:

Warm ups - we focused on harmony while singing a C+ scale in canon and with solfa syllables.
Snow is Falling Down
- remember to listen when you are not singing and also remember to sit tall in your chairs
- we worked through both lines separately and then sang both lines in harmony
- this takes a lot of concentration! Good work!
If The Snow Could Sing
- remember the ending consonants - it's important that the audience can hear the story
- we will look at the middle part at camp
CAMP WEEKEND
- I am excited to sing with you on the weekend...it's going to be a lot of fun!
- I hope you all picked up the information forms at the meeting
- if you have any questions, please contact Laura at laura@vivasingerstoronto.com She is in charge of this weekend and will have the answers.
- See you on Friday! We will miss those of you not coming but we will review with you when we come back.
NO REHEARSAL on Monday October 6th (directly after camp weekend) AND Monday October 13th (Thanksgiving).
After camp, our next rehearsal at TSP is Monday October 20th.
Sweets for Singers - our fundraiser has started - check online to see what sweet treats you can tell your family and friends about. Highest seller wins a Viva hoodie!

We accomplished a lot today!

We continued work on Snow is Falling Still
- remember to create a line when singing and not just note to note
- we will put both parts together in a few weeks
If The Snow Could Sing
- we just started this - read through the words/lyrics before next week.
Thank you Adam for coming in and playing a few games with us. It was nice to move to the drum rhythms and also play your name game.
Please remember that we don't have a lot of time to rehearse and it's important to listen to each other. We will always have a break where you can chat with friends.
Great work on your theory this week!
Have a great week!
