A cappella arranging: Voice leading - how to make the music performable! | Choir With Knut

Not all singers can just sing any old musical line you give them; the lines have to make musical "sense" in order for singers to be able to perform them effectively! This is where "voice leading" comes in, and in this video we'll look at this concept, both historically, and in practical terms for use in your choral arrangements.
Choir With Knut is your number one resource for learning how to arrange for choral and a cappella groups! Through informative videos, you’ll learn about the voice types, how to structure a vocal arrangement or composition, how to go about arranging for voices/singing as opposed to other instruments, and all sorts of related topics, tricks and tips!
