  8. THE SINGING VOICE Always start with good posture Respiration – Breath is taken Phonation (the attach) - Sound is initiated in the larynx Resonation (tone) – The resonators receive the sound and influence it Articulation – Articulators shape the sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYpDwhpILkQ

  9. Vocal Ranges: Head Voice vs. Chest Voice Refers to where the sound is ‘resonating’ or appears to be coming from Chest voice limits the capabilities of the voice Students hear more role models using chest voice than head voice Head voice is the traditional choral sound

  10. Ranges: Keep repertoire within the range of the singers not too low not too high. Suggested Ranges: (comfortable range 3rd from either end) K-1 GR. 2 GR. 3-4 GR. 5-6

  11. Part Singing Unison – grades 1 & 2 (GR.1 Singing Skills: Sing accurately in unison) Ostinato – grades 3 (GR.3: Sing ostinato patterns with songs; Sing 2 part rounds and simple descants; sing partner and nonsense songs) Rounds/Canons, partner songs – grade 4 (Sing two and three part rounds and descants) Parallel 3rds – grade 5 & 6 (GR 5: Sing three and four part rounds and two part soprano, alto songs) (GR 6: Extend vocal development to include stressing in tune part singing)

  12. Ostinato Patterns: Start with rhythmic ostinati Get kids used to doing rhythms in 2 parts using body percussion then transfer to non-pitched percussion instruments Use body-percussion and non-pitched percussion often with songs to get kids used to hearing something else when they are singing. Introduce a ‘freeze tone’. Create simple ostinato patterns with songs.

  13. Rounds and Partner Songs Partner Songs are a great way to start kids singing in 2 parts Many books of partner songs exist that are reproducible! EX. Land of the Silver Birch / My Paddle • stand in clusters • Use pitched instruments to help

  14. *Translation: Rejoice in the Lord, Alleluia!

  15. Two Part Songs Avoid labelling voices Change who sings what part Use songs that at least one part can be played on the recorder Have 1 part cluster around the piano to hear their part Only have parts for a small section of music

  16. We are ‘Marching’ or we are ‘walking’ in the Light of God

  17. CHOIR Considerations: How many? When and how long are practices? To audition or not to audition? Where will they sing? What will they sing? (budget?) Accompanist / CD

  18. Rehearsal Warm-Up Variety – don’t spend too long on any one piece Incorporate some movement breaks Fun songs / well known songs Be prepared/ routines Seating plan?

  19. Repertoire Things to consider Who and where is your audience • Chapels/assemblies • Local churches • Seniors’ homes • Community events & festivals • Parents

  20. Holding the Audiences Interest Variety Movement or Choreography IT SHOULD ALWAYS ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE! Small groups / whole group On risers / other formations (perimeter of room / small groupings) / processing in Sign Language Feature a dancer or small group of dancers Instruments or group of instruments Background video
