Keep practice moving

πŸ‘‰πŸ½πŸ“ƒπŸ–Š HAVING EFFECTIVE CHOIR PRACTICES (choristers/MD's)πŸ“–πŸŽΌπŸŽΆΒ  πŸ“•πŸ–‹ Season 1. Episode 3. KEEP PRACTICES MOVING πŸ“˜πŸ“–πŸ–Š I’m all for having a great time in choir practice and for being personal with your choir, but don’t tell so many stories and jokes that you never get anything done. One idea that I have found helpful is to have an efficient way to teach parts. There’s nothing worse than going over one part at a time while the other three-fourths of the choir sits and listens (or in reality, talks to each other). While the pianist plays the bass part, have the basses sing at a good volume while the other three parts sing softly. Even though the other three parts haven’t been played out on the piano, it’s still good practice for them. Then move up to the tenor. Have the tenors sing out this time while the basses, altos, and sopranos sing softly. Continue this until all four parts have practiced. This allows every section to sing their part four times instead of just once. Mix it up.
