Learning to sing together involves making the same sounds at the same time and the same vowel shape, too. Here are some choristers showing how we drop the jaw and sing long vowels so we sound more mature and unified as a choir.
Enjoy!

Today we swirled and moved to "Grant us peace" which will be sung as a "catch" where each part is layered on top of the other. Scarves make movement so much more gentle.
We also sang "Hurrying to Bethlehem" as a circle dance changing directions, stopping, going, moving forward and backward. I didn't mind the confusion of clockwise or counterclockwise marching. Some choristers are better than others at being able to sing and dance at the same time. They were enjoying themselves and I loved the variety myself (I'm always moving and singing.) I love solfege syllables and hand signals. They help the choristers sing on target instead of scooping to the notes. Upside to rehearsing in the multi-purpose room: the acoustic echo. Downside: the extra noise that comes from the breakfast bunch and forgetting that the whiteboard is not magnetic.
