How To Build A Sounds Good Choir

By Amy Brooks


A trainer or leader will visit a choir and wish his or her could perform at that level. This is a dilemma and desire of all singers and administrators dealing with choirs. According to experts, a sounds good choir is easy yet difficult to nurture. Here are some of the tips provided to develop and sustain a group whose performance will be outstanding.

Create a welcoming and comfortable human environment for singers. People are attracted to communities where they can live like a family. The ultimate response becomes singing that is quality since their heads are not bothered by grudges or hate. Deal with emerging issues as fast as possible and shield those you might consider as weak. If everyone feels at home, the passion and unity will be felt in their voices.

Set rules that are to be followed by everyone. The people must arrive on time. They must carry such materials as books, pens or scores to be used. These rules provide a standard environment for all to sing. They also ensure that no one is seen to be more important or favored than others. This will enhance the harmony of your group.

Leaders and trainers must also follow the rules set by the group. If there is a threshold set for attending practice in order to perform on stage, all leaders must stick to this threshold. It will be difficult to talk about arriving for practice on time yet a leader or trainer is the last. People are wired to follow what you do more than what you say.

The trainer must polish his teaching and production skills. Members can never rise beyond their teacher. This means that beautiful sounds must first come from the teacher before they are generated by members. This begins from training where the tutor must be confident in his delivery. A trainer must prepare to deliver a flawless training session if the voices of singers are to be magnificent.

The environment used for rehearsal or performance must be comfortable and appropriate. Some trainers prefer to stand while others are comfortable when sited. Agree with singers on the mode of training so that everyone is comfortable. Choose a comfortable room that has fresh air, is lit, and has enough space. If singers are uncomfortable, their performance will be affected.

Help them take care of their voices. The quality of sound produced is always a factor of individual voices. Implore on singers to drink plenty of water, avoid sugary beverages and reduce unnecessary shouting. Since the vocal cords are the primary tool for a singer, it will be impossible to misuse it when not singing yet expect it to produce quality sound.

Hold warm up in high regard. This helps to take care of throat muscles like any other part of the body that is about to be engaged in strenuous exercise. Without warming up, the cords will be damaged and forever affect your singing potential. There are appropriate warm-up techniques and melodies that you can use.

The trainer must understand the capacity of his choir and especially individual singers. Hitting top notes and performing complex pieces takes practice. Be patient when polishing your choir but seek to improve their standards from time to time. The trainer must raise his standards first for members to follow.
