Thankyou so much for this video! Your expertise is always very helpful to me! I am a lifelong professional musician and vocalist. However, I am not totally comfortable being the choir director of our church. I have gotten better since I took over the choir last August. Your videos have been extremely valuable to me. Thankyou!!
Thank YOU for the comment! Yeah, it's a different thing than performing, and it always blows my mind how you can never explain that to people until they come into the position and see for themselves. Happy to help and thank you for being here, who knows, maybe someday we'll meet in real life at some kind of an event! kindest regards
Thank you for the tips. What do you do in a situation where the choir has learnt the song already? Sang it well a few times but then seem to go out of tune when the piece was revisited?
Hi, sorry for the late reply! This is actually more common than you think! In my experience, this phenomenom usually means the song was never learned in the first place, it was just muscle memory, if that makes sense. So.. I go back to basics, read from scratch. Or.. I let the song go completely, haha! It is frustrating, so sometimes it's better to let it go (if I can). Life's too short.
It would be great to have this information presented in a way that's easier to digest than watching a face talking. Plus, the constant jumping in the video is incredibly distracting.
Hi Jenni, thank you for the constructive criticism. I agree with you completely, I am aware the production quality is really low, but this is the only way I can do it because I do this just to help the way I can manage. It would be great to do better, but I can't put my choirs or my rehearsals on youtube, and English is not my mother tongue so the jumping is, unfortunately, unavoidable. I do think about this a lot and I aim to improve, so I hope you are able to find the benefits until then. Kind regards!

Aliquots or harmonics?
