3 Must Read Books for Choir Directors

By choirteachers.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sun, 06 Jan 2013 13:00:00 +0000

Here are 3 books that I have found most useful in helping me become a better Choir Director. I highly recommend them and if you have any suggestions for me I am all ears and ready to learn.

Sing 6-7-8! - Choral

This book has a great way of simplifying things. It allows you to see things from a younger students perspective from someone who has worked for many years with that age group. I have heard it said before that just because you can do does not mean you can teach This book has lots of great tools to help bridge that gap.

The adolescent years can be a challenge for any choir director, but this practical handbook by Roger Emerson provides an engaging and witty approach to working with these young singers. Ideal for experienced educators and those new to the field, this text is full of creative ideas and solid solutions in an easy-to-read question and answer format. The fifty topics include recruiting, the adolescent voice, choral tone, classroom management, budgets, choral balance and blend, sight-reading, repertoire, programming, incorporating pop music into the choral program, working with your administrators and colleagues, parent and community relations, helpful recommended resources and much more!

Evoking Sound Choral Warm-up Method, Procedures, Planning And Core Vocal Exercises

The book is a comprehensive guide to teaching vocal technique through designing an efficient choral warm-up that gives the choir "tools" to sing and hear better. Among the topics presented are alignment (using Alexander Body Mapping principles), inhalation, exhalation, support, resonance, vowel colors, leaps, range extension, crescendo/decrescendo, martellato, staccato, teaching procedures for diction (plus general diction guidelines), teaching and reinforcing rhythm and consistent tempo, and strategies for teaching intonation. This is a comprehensive guide for choral directors that: helps conductors plan and implement efficient choral warm-ups builds healthy voices within the choral rehearsal provides vocalises that have accompaniments complete with modulations upward and downward categorizes vocalises according to specific vocal objectives

Choral Concepts: A Text for Conductors

Not too often did I find a college text book that I really liked but here is one exception. This text provides a concise and practical introduction to choral techniques and conducting for potential choral conductors. The author-America's premier choral conductor, mentored by Robert Shaw-brings 43 years of teaching and workshop experience to this text.

GARDNER'S HINTS FOR GROUP SINGING

By choirteachers.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sun, 11 May 2014 15:11:00 +0000

GARDNER'S HINTS

FOR GROUP SINGING

All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!!

1. Proper posture is essential to good vocal production.

a. Don't stand too rigid. (This will cause tension)

b. Stand tall and stately with your arms, shoulders and neck area relaxed.

c. Don't slouch, it restricts the lungs and diaphragm.

2. Tension is the great enemy to all singers;

a. The jowls and the jaws must always be relaxed.

b. When singing in the higher registers always tip your forehead slightly forward.

(flirt with someone in the audience)

c. When women sing notes above the staff, turn all vowels to Aaah and use less volume.

VOCAL PRODUCTION

3. The higher you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth)

4. The louder you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth)

5. The lower you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth)

6. The softer you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth)

NOTE WEIGHT

7. The longer the note the more weight you put on it.

8. The shorter the note the less weight you put on it.

NOTE SHAPE

9. Every note has shape and contour. (crescendo, decrescendo, tenuto, staccato) (When listening to younger musicians you notice that every note is the same and has no shape, contour or direction.)

10. You never sit on a long note. (You must either increase volume or decrease volume)

11. When singing a series of notes on the same pitch each note must be altered for interest. (Four quarter notes, on the same pitch, become boring unless you make them interesting with shape, contour, and volume.)

RHYTHM

12. When singing a note that is three times longer than the note that follows, you must separate. (Examples Dotted half note followed by a quarter note - You Separate. Dotted Quarter followed by eighth - you separate, Dotted eighth followed by sixteenth - you separate.

ACCIDENTALS

13. An accidental is a Sharp, Flat or Natural sign that takes the note out of the key and you should emphasize or accent the accidental so that the listener won't think you just made a mistake.

14. A rhythm accidental is syncopation or any beat that does not occur on the pulse and you should emphasize or accent all rhythm accidentals.

MESSAGE

15. The message is most important. Enunciate well. Communicate well. Understand the message that you are trying to get across to the audience. Do your part to inspire and edify the audience. (When your spirit bears witness to their spirit, both will be edified.)

Alice Cooper's Theatre Of Death Show Rocked

By guitarticles.blogspot.com
Published On :: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:05:00 +0000

Its been a little while now, but roughly a month ago I went to the Alice Cooper Theater Of Death show, and I would have written about it then, except that things have been nuts lately. I must say, if you enjoy Alice Cooper's music and you want to go to the best show that you've ever been to in your life - check him out on tour.

I had seen video of him and his famous, eccentric stage shenanigans before, but seeing the master himself live blows everything else out of the water. There was no shock rock vaudeville stone left unturned as he truly commanded the stage like only a mascara running, self resurrecting, bad boy can.

My brother had always described to me the atmosphere of the show so I did have a little bit to go off of, but then when you are actually witnessing the flow of an Alice Cooper concert, you really don't give an F about any other show. Seriously, everything else is just boring to me now, and the man is in his early sixties now, so now is the time to enjoy what he has to offer, because again - his work is made to be spontaneous, or in other words - live!

Don't let the early sixties part fool - Alice is like a fine wine - he gets better with age.
