ME TOO LOOOL
Hahah me too
How are a group of people this coordinated I can’t even walk and sneeze at the same time
Nessa Jimenez my name is Nessa too !

They are so synchronised it sounds like one big voice?!
It's ear-candy!
It’s called good blending
Omw i love earcandy!
Hello, my name is choir. Nice to meet you.
@@69SalterStreet And as Choir, I do a lot of practice
not a tenor in sight, just people living in the moment
Max idk why i found this so funny
LMAO
What does that mean?

Brayden Echols a shame my choir will never master it
He mentioned stagger breathing in the vid didn’t he? I can’t find that part again! Do you know when it is?

YASSSSSSSSS
1:25
when you open too many tabs of the same video
Love this comment 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I read that exactly as I got to the rounds section of it lol
HAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why am I watching this, I play trombone.
Hello fellow trombonist!
Same lol
Alex Lastname I play baritone😂
Hey I'm a marimba player

Trombone rules
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
“The number you have dialled, is not yet in service”
Macky Moo 😂
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
I learned this in about 3 attempts in a group of 40. The hardest one for me to grasp was
1 5 4 5 3 5 2 5 1 5 4 5 3 2 1

I no longer know how to count past 8, thank you.
Welcome in the world of dance, Rythmic gym, skating, and now solfege...
@@watewmark what they were doing wasn't solfege. Solfege is Doh Re Mi
@@erinlilly6111 Oh you wanna be uppity ? Then no, solfege is UT re mi [...]. You didnt do solfege your whole life cauz you didnt use the proper wording !!
Sounds ridiculous right ? Then they were doing solfege whatever they were saying, THANK YOU.
@@watewmark solfege is Doh Re Mi Fah Sol Lah Ti Doh
@@watewmark you're talking about the one from the 11th century. News flash we aren't there.
When everybody does their part in the group project
Me: You're a piano player, you will never need this.
Me to me: Ya but watch the whole video six times anyway
phandom001 I can relate 😂
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.
I’m a high school music student during the pandemic (I play trombone, violin, and I’m a soprano in our choir) and this video had me in tears. We’ve been fortunate to perform live but with no audience and only 2 in person rehearsals at my school. These are the moments we take for granted before we don’t have them anymore - thank you for taking me back to what I love doing for a little while :)
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
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
The head Music Director (mentioned in the notes).
Who else was brought here by recommended
🙋🏾♀️😂
Me 😁
Mee. I have no idea why tho
Yes
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! :)
It kind of sounds and reminds me of those commercials that would say the phone numbers really fast at the end.
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
@@janetownley no ur completely wrong 60 is super young idk what ur talkin about💀
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
Theory Training.
Aural Training.
Vocal Training.
All in a single exercise.
Simply excellent. Bravissimo Tuttiissimo!!
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've never seen so many boys in a chorus.
splatterofdarkness ikr same I am one of 4 guys in my chorus
It’s a men’s chorus? What did you expect
@@TA-yf3bd I always have to come across an idiot that doesn't know that I was just saying it to say it.
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
@@TA-yf3bdMhm.
This makes me miss choir
I don’t know why this showed up in my recommended, but I am pleased.
I play Tuba, and I think it would be so cool if band orchestra and choir all got together, like real orchestra!
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.
Freya Guppy My school does that with Hallelujah too! :D
@@ScarrVett hallelujah gang
AnOstrichYoutubing so you chase fat guy when you're bored?
Ever heard of Verdi's Requiem?
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
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!
My dude in front right at 3:27 killed me.
The guy on black tshirt with hand gestures?
I felt so bad 😭
I just dialed this, and got a zoo in Mongolia?
😂😂😁lol
That was you!?
they sound like one voice, they are incredible.
The ending was greatt, why am I enjoying this that much
So this is the same as do, do-re-do, do-re-mi-re-do?
Mackenzie Eddy yes, but with numbers
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
Finally! Someone who recognizes Polish first (I'm also Polish)
henryscp 07 It’s both a word in the German and the Polish language but with a different pronunciation and meaning
Nie also is a way of saying niet, which is Dutch for not
I can sing "a 1, a 2, a 1 2 3 4"
Why did I get chills at the very beginning? I miss preforming so badly.
I love this warmup, ive used it constantly for like the last 4 years- since i learnt it
this song will be stuck in my head forever
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 Count would love this choir! Imagine if these guys were invited onto Sesame Street...
5:13 when you’re messing around with delay effects
Crazy! =) will try this with my choirs too!
And I can't even say the numbers correctly...😥
This is actually a very good warmup exercise. I might try it with my choir group. Thanks for sharing this! :)
I need more like this. I actually want to watch more like it.
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 literally was looking for "warm up by canon" but this extremely as great! For those that's wondering -it's rap
It can be in solfege or numbers. Both have good effects for the vocals and especially for rhythm and harmony practice. ☺☺☺
Gah dang I'm impressed
What are you impressed by?
and im depressed
Why not use solfege?
1 = do, 2 = re, etc.
So you don't have to change the words when you change the key
@@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.
I never thought 8 could sound so beautiful 🤧
personal favourite warm up, watching this makes me happy
Its amazing guys.
My ears glad to hear it.
UA-cam recommend this and I’m not let do. I enjoyed this video thoroughly, good work.
This makes me miss chorus even more 😭 I miss warmups so much and just getting to sing with all of my friends.
do the exact same warmup for band and choir, the canon seems tricky
Me: watches this video
Also me: regrets quitting choir
Still me: remembers that my choir director was emotional abusive and among other things, straight up told me that I couldn’t sing in front of the class
Perfect unison 🎤
Good job gentlemen 👏
I have been doing this with my choir for years....they just love it..This Conductor is very good . Mary Anne David ( Sri Lanka )
you must know the numbers first.... 😂
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
I do this now in my choir class! (I'm in middle school)
FandomsLover 1 2 3 ikr
Yeah this vid is really helpful
They sound so good!!
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
thank you UA-cam for just now recommending something from 4 years ago
*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.
love to see the variety of the member
Ugh this brings back great memories 😔
This was one of my favorite warm-ups to do
Great.. Will try this out tonight with my chorus!
we do stuff like this on choir practises, too, and i love it. these guys are great, btw!💞
Great. Now i know how to count to 8. This video really helped me!
The conductors nervous pacing is just AHHHHH 🤯
Don't confuse excitement with nervousness. He LOVES doing this. :-)
My teacher would have the high do be a 1 instead of an 8 since the scale restarts lol
what a good atmosphere.. i would enjoy learning and singing with you
3:08 i love how it builds up 😍
I love this exercise! It's fun to do!
As a former wind player (bass clarinet) it's fascinating how many of the same breathing and listening fundamentals cross over.
I enjoy watching vocal Scales I remember the second one u did
Why is it so weirdly pleasant to listen to?
These dudes are literally just practicing and I'm so entertained
That one person who characterize counting is awesome
This sounds so good omggg
This makes me miss being in choir
mee too... damn corona
I love choir and singing ❤️
I know this in solfege! We do it in class quite often, usually splitting into voice parts and do a round, and thought the next group doesn't start until the first group has done 1 121. So instead of hearing 12 12 12 12, you hear 121 121 121 121 etc. We usually go straight from 123456787654321 to 8 878 87678 etc (in solfege of course) without a break in between. It's really fun to try and do the hand signs along
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 🤣🤣🤣
Hearing them is so satisfying !
I had so much fun watching this. I wish I joined a choir
What a great men's section you have!!!
My chorus teacher always had us sing this
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.
I use this technique too and honestly it’s really fun to do!
Why is this in my suggestions and why do I like it ?
this looks like so much fun
1.) Why was this in my recommended for so long
2.) Why did I click
We do the exact same thing but in Do-Re-Mi fashion. We had it a lil harder... bc we had to do it all backwards. That's a different story
