Every piano player that works with singers should learn this, because a voice is not a piano. If you can teach a singer to relate their pitches this way, they can practice without a piano, but be ready to perform with the piano.

Thank you UA-cam algorithm!!!!! It made me feel like I’m in a choir again. We have been staying safe & virtual in the pandemic, so no communal singing, but this brings me the joy of choir once again! :)
splatterofdarkness damn, I knew you were just saying but it’s kind of an dumb observation. Obviously there’s a ton of dudes here. Didn’t have to call me a idiot for it xD
It’s crazy that there’s Guys in that crowd that are well above 60 and it just proves that singers always gonna sing like in basketball shooters are always gonna shoot
My choir director, we do major scale with numbers as well but we also choose 2 numbers to skip over so we actually have to pay attention and sing at the right time and the right notes and pitches etc. it’s really beneficial to learn how to skip around especially when you skip with mi , fa , sol since theyre quite similar and you can be off key easily
AnOstrichYoutubing - the band played Hallelujah and the choir sang with us last year at our chrismas concert but the band was so much louder than the choir and we were playing in a gymnasium so the acoustics were trash. Also the orchestra wasn’t a part of it. I don’t understand why they separate the band and orchestra, we should all play together like an actual orchestra.
This is fantastic! At first I thought it was “just an exercise,” but it is REALLY and exercise in choral excellence. Tops to the directing, and I can only image what this group can perform if THIS is just a warm up.
@@fritz8498 you can use movable do (tonic is always do). Where I live we read vocal music by rewriting into numbers and learning the solfege that way. E.g. madahliturgi.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/o-holy-night-partitur-satb/
it just depends on the teacher’s preference. i’ve met people who do numbers, solfege, and some who just sing “da” while sightreading. it’s all personal reference.
vanno @vanno of course you can, I did that when I studied music theory. But movable Do is often mistaken with "I just sing all music like if it was in C major", numbers are more objective and it's more clear that what you are interesred in are the grades of the scales rather than the notes themself
@@fritz8498 hence we use numeric notation and sing the solfege. I understand this same method is also used in China. Either way has its pluses and minuses. Cheers.

*Flashbacks to high school choir* As a freshman in high school this round always turned out to be a mess because at that moment, everyone forgot how to count to 8.
A girl in our choir when we would do the cannon with four groups would just sing one over and over again because it fits as you're going through. she couldn't remember how to do the whole thing and she would just go one one one over and over again until she knew it was over for her section 🤣🤣🤣
Choir kid 🙋♀️I learnt this when I was around 8 and this warm-up is pretty much for all ages hhhhhhh and there are so much more remixes and perfections to come up with along this one This chorus is doing so good!!! ρ(＾o^ )♪ happy singing! :D

choir masters have the most amazing ability to make things sound better with the simplest instructions like 'move more air'
A single cup of the hand or a jiggle of a pinky and rhe whole ensemble sounds different. Amazing
It literally does not matter if they use solfege or numbers! Numbers are perfectly fine for this exercise
Both ways are so much fun, though. 😂
It’s been three years since I’ve been in choir and I miss this so much. Just everyone sharpening a talent they’re passionate about together, and making some beautiful sounds while they do it.
probably a barbershop harmony society chapter with a chorus near you! there’s even a function on the BHS webpage to find ones close to you!

I'd mess up the numbers all the time. XD
You get used to it after a while and it becomes natural
Wait till you have to do it with the alphabet
That's why solfege is better

Theory Training.
Aural Training.
Vocal Training.
All in a single exercise.
Simply excellent. Bravissimo Tuttiissimo!!
I'm a violinist but choir and barbershop are soooo cool to me, I find myself watching these warm up exercise videos every once in a while :D
When everybody does their part in the group project
I want a canon of this with one group starting at 1 going up, and the other group at 8 going down.
We do this all the time in our theatre group
It kind of sounds and reminds me of those commercials that would say the phone numbers really fast at the end.
Who else was brought here by recommended
🙋🏾♀️😂
Me 😁
Mee. I have no idea why tho
Yes
When i've done this they've made us do it backwards down from 8 after the ascending scale! Oh, i should have waited haha!
who is the guy in the background he sounds like a sports announcer

I don’t know why this showed up in my recommended, but I am pleased.
I was a band kid who (still) can't sing to save my life, so getting to watch the mechanics of bringing out the best in singers is magical to me!
they sound like one voice, they are incredible.

Why did I get chills at the very beginning? I miss preforming so badly.
It's impressive being able to do it just one beat off, but I like the harmonies better when it is two beats off, as you get lots of thirds.
I play Tuba, and I think it would be so cool if band orchestra and choir all got together, like real orchestra!

I have never sung, however, listening to these voices I realize that I have a good vocal tone. Thank you for giving me good parameters.
The ending was greatt, why am I enjoying this that much
I just dialed this, and got a zoo in Mongolia?
😂😂😁lol
That was you!?
I love this warmup, ive used it constantly for like the last 4 years- since i learnt it
I literally was looking for "warm up by canon" but this extremely as great! For those that's wondering -it's rap
My dude in front right at 3:27 killed me.
The guy on black tshirt with hand gestures?
I felt so bad 😭
The Count would love this choir! Imagine if these guys were invited onto Sesame Street...
Gah dang I'm impressed
What are you impressed by?
and im depressed
I never thought 8 could sound so beautiful 🤧
This is fantastic! At first I thought it was “just an exercise,” but it is REALLY and exercise in choral excellence. Tops to the directing, and I can only image what this group can perform if THIS is just a warm up.
I can sing "a 1, a 2, a 1 2 3 4"
Why not use solfege?
1 = do, 2 = re, etc.
So you don't have to change the words when you change the key

thank you UA-cam for just now recommending something from 4 years ago
This makes me miss chorus even more 😭 I miss warmups so much and just getting to sing with all of my friends.
It can be in solfege or numbers. Both have good effects for the vocals and especially for rhythm and harmony practice. ☺☺☺
This is actually a very good warmup exercise. I might try it with my choir group. Thanks for sharing this! :)
Why is it so weirdly pleasant to listen to?
These dudes are literally just practicing and I'm so entertained
personal favourite warm up, watching this makes me happy
And I can't even say the numbers correctly...😥
Am i cracy or is there a overtone as the third at 0:18 ?
Crazy! =) will try this with my choirs too!
hahaha :D 3:48 "nie nie nie" - it's Polish "no no no" :) but I am Yes man :)
Nie nie nie is never never never in German but it's pronounced a little bit differently.
nie is a German word

*Flashbacks to high school choir*
As a freshman in high school this round always turned out to be a mess because at that moment, everyone forgot how to count to 8.
My choir teacher of Middle school did this exact same stuff, after moving to High I cant help but realize how good she was compared to most
UA-cam recommend this and I’m not let do. I enjoyed this video thoroughly, good work.
The conductors nervous pacing is just AHHHHH 🤯
Don't confuse excitement with nervousness. He LOVES doing this. :-)
love to see the variety of the member
That one person who characterize counting is awesome
This makes me miss being in choir
mee too... damn corona
do the exact same warmup for band and choir, the canon seems tricky
A girl in our choir when we would do the cannon with four groups would just sing one over and over again because it fits as you're going through. she couldn't remember how to do the whole thing and she would just go one one one over and over again until she knew it was over for her section 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect unison 🎤
Good job gentlemen 👏
we do stuff like this on choir practises, too, and i love it. these guys are great, btw!💞
Great.. Will try this out tonight with my chorus!
Great. Now i know how to count to 8. This video really helped me!
what a good atmosphere.. i would enjoy learning and singing with you

you must know the numbers first.... 😂
Ugh this brings back great memories 😔

My teacher would have the high do be a 1 instead of an 8 since the scale restarts lol
This is my daily mood scale from 1-10..
Im a band kid listening to what i play done by voices is amazing
i didn't know numbers could sound so beautiful
As a former wind player (bass clarinet) it's fascinating how many of the same breathing and listening fundamentals cross over.
I did this warmup in choir too, and halfway through i realised I was joining in the exercise haha
I'm seven years too late but this is where you end up when you watch too many musical theory videos at 2am out of curiosity
I use this technique too and honestly it’s really fun to do!

number is an easier warm up, as solfege is used usually after the number warm up, it’s more complex, but if anything you’re getting the same warm up.
This makes me miss choir especially the warm ups
Aw man this brings me back to high school days
I remember in middle school, we had a guest director teach us for an upcoming band concert and he made us do this haha, it was so fun.
