This is a competition piece that the 'Overtones" are singing in Cleavland, Ohio this spring. We are fine tuning things at this time such as entrances and timbre that is desired. The students sing these songs often and the goal is for them to be able to maintain a consistent rhythm as an ensemble without too much direction from me. In this video...
We begin each rehearsal with warm ups and voice building. This is the intermediate group where we are preparing some to eventually "graduate" to Overtones. We focus on singing together and creating a good ensemble feel and accurate singing of the scales and exercises. |
