Still some work to do here kids. Only a short time left to practice. Make your comments, and be nice! You don’t want to be on the “Naughty” list!
Listen to the file called “Deck the Hall ABC” to hear good tone production, and style/phrasing. Who do you think is singing here? What can we do to sound like them?
We have much work left to do on this one. New choir students need to memorize it! Sopranos have nice tone for the most part. Altos need to use more head voice and not scoop “Deo”. Boys need to sing more controlled. A few are shouting and individual voices (not T.C.) are standing out. I won’t name who is standing out, neither should you.
Work on this at home, and comment on what you hear. I have pieced it together from rehearsal. We will add percussion soon.
Sorry it took a while to get this up. Busy, busy!! What can we do to make this better?
Have a listen to our recording from Halloween. It is getting better! Comment on what else needs improvement. Please use proper grammar and spelling.
Have a listen and comment on the words which still need attention to vowels. It’s obvious many people still need to work on memorization in parts. Remember that whenever you have the melody, it needs to be heard. Therefore, sopranos need to be softer when the altos carry the melody.
Listen to your singing and comment about how we can improve.
Listen to your singing and comment about how to make it even better. Think about your tone, balance, and tall, round vowel sounds.
Listen to this recording from 10/17 and comment on how to improve our singing. Pay close attention to vowel sounds, tone, blend and balance.
Use these audio files to practice your voice part. Soprano 1 sings “Tenor 1″. Soprano 2 sings “Lead”. Alto 1 sings “Baritone”. Alto 2 sings “Bass”. All girls should sing one octave higher than it sounds. Boys sing exactly as the part sounds.
After singing with your voice part, practice with the track labeled “Full”.
