Focusing on the Maturing Voice
We had a wonderful time with Dr. Matthew Pauls and Dr. Janet Brenneman over these two workshop sessions. They were engaging, informative, and supportive presenters and we learned a lot about how to manage our maturing voices from their wisdom and expertise.
On behalf of JDV and the wider choral community we would like to thank them both for sharing with us over these two sessions and for providing us with real, practical tips for healthy singing.
We would also like to thank our two benefactors for these sessions, without whom they would not have been possible: Laura Hawley and Philipp R. Ens/Triple E RV.
If you were not able to attend the sessions in person, they were recorded and are available to watch for a limited time, simply click the links below:
Session 1 - March 23
Session 2 - March 30

JDV Coming Up! April 10 - Sectional Rehearsal! This week we will be looking at Requiem for the first time. The plan for each sectional is to work through the entire piece so that it will all be in the video for you to review later. A few things to note about this piece: -The opening and ending of the piece is in unison across the choir -The middle section of the piece is the only section with individual parts to consider -Altos, you are free to sing what ever octave you wish in the unison sections. For the middle section though, I would like you to sing with the tenors - at the end of this section you will notice there is a slight deviation from the tenor part to your own note, this happen at the end as well. I would encourage you to listen to the work with your score in hand a few times before rehearsal on Saturday so that you can get a sense of the piece itself. A link to a performance of the piece is available in the Choir Loft. Just a reminder to take note of the modified rehearsal times for the remainder of the season - this really only impacts the tenors:n Alto and Tenor: 10:00-10:35 AM Bass: 10:40-11:15 AM Soprano: 11:20-11:55 AM Just a reminder that if you would like extra rehearsal on this piece, you are welcome to join the Good Neighbours rehearsals for the remainder of the season. They rehearse on Tuesday mornings and you can follow our normal Zoom link found in the Choir Loft to access their sectionals. Their sectional schedule is: Alto and Tenor: 9:30-10:05 AM Bass: 10:10-10:45 AM Soprano: 10:50-11:25 AM Other Reminders!
