Episode 216: What is a Choir “Warm-up” Anyway with the LSHS Choirs
Manage episode 440882756 series 2507740
I have published many peeks into my classroom before on the show. I have never shown you our opening class minutes before. This is where the real work happens. The “warm-up.” Or, as I would rather call it, “voice building time.”
In this episode, you will have a front row seat (video version recommended on YouTube and Clips on TikTok!) to the opening 10-12 minutes of our beginning Treble, Advanced Treble, Beginning Tenor-Bass and advanced SATB curricular choirs. This of course, is a snapshot of a day and should not represent an exact facsimile of our daily routine. Because, in fact, we don’t have a “daily” routine.
Instead, I will explain through demonstration and commentary the exercises we do, why we do them, and why I believe it’s important to use “warm up” time for a wide variety of things, and to mix it up from day to day. We use this time for voice building, literacy skills, music theory, relationship building and so much more. Our classes are tragically only 44 minutes long. So, the reality is we have to pick and choose the things they have a chance to try and experience.
As always, I hope you find something useful here!
Tune in, and have your thinking stimulated and challenged. Then, weigh in yourself with your related ideas and experiences on Facebook in the Choralosophers group or over on choralosophy.substack.com
