Hi all, just thought I’d type a bit here so that I can get used to the idea of blogging regarding singing and choral arts.
As of this past Tuesday, I have to say that I am quite pleased with how these groups are singing and learning. I think that the biggest thing that has transpired is a sense of musical independence on the part of many of the young singers. Knowledge already known, but maybe not quite utilized as an individual in the musical process. The next thing? To further the development of these musical knowledge bases even further. Vocally? To implement continual vocal techniques while singing at ALL times. Easier said than done, for sure. As the Nutcracker comes up, quickly, I was ecstatic with that ending major third for 12 seconds or so. High e and g sharp in LOVELY tone and tuned impeccably. BRAVA ladies!!!
So, for something to listen to, and ponder at this time of year, go to the following link…
