Noteworthy Behind the Scenes Practice
Choral workshop at 2:00 pm
Noteworthy is inviting local high school choir students to attend a free workshop which will be held either at a local highschool (McNeil) or the LDS church on 8140 Racine Trail.
Here are details from Noteworthy’s Artistic director:
“We can shape the workshop to teachers' preferences and what they think would be most effective and fun. Typically we center workshops around a cappella. We talk about voice parts, do exercises for blending and placement, then discuss and demonstrate the arranging process. We'll teach them a small section of one of our songs, sing that all together. Then we love to trade performances. So we'd love to hear the attending choir(s) sing and we in turn would sing a couple of songs. This structure seems to work well for both large and small groups, but we can incorporate other elements or shift things around to cater to a particular group's needs. “
“We will simply stick to our usual structure of intros, vocal warmups & technique overview, breakdown of a cappella arrangements, teaching portion, Q&A, and short performance. I’d prefer to communicate through David Talbot. So if there is something specific the teachers would like us to cover or certain requests etc, they could communicate those requests to David Talbot and he can filter and then inform me. Our workshop has received great feedback. “
“Hopefully this helps! Let me know what else you need. And thank you!!”
- Amy Whitcomb, Noteworthy Artistic Director
