CHORISTER CORNER

Hi choristers! Here are a few reminders from our rehearsal.

  1. Continue working on your theory. Your assigned page should be completed BEFORE you arrive.

  2. Ottley, Celeste and I are available from 4:30 - 5 to help with any theory help you need.

  3. Gifts - remember tall, open sounds - think north/south and not east/west with your vowel sounds. - ending consonants are important! - sing past the head in front of you.

  4. Blue Skies - this is a difficult piece and you are doing really well on it. - add energy to the 'scat' section - less singing and more emphasis on rhythm and consonants.

  5. Thank you to Adam for your energetic rhythmic and movement activities!
