The Life-Long Benefits of Singing In A Choir: Greg Takes A Trip Down Choir Memory Lane and The Team Discusses Adjustment and Vibrato In the CRQ.

The Choir Room Podcast

Remember when we used to stand shoulder to shoulder with others, belting out tunes like 'This Land is Your Land' and 'If I Had a Hammer' in our school choir? The thrill of those harmonies is no small part of our shared experience. We invite you to join us on a nostalgic journey as we delve into the importance of choral singing, and how it is undeniably interwoven with our societal fabric.
Have you ever considered altering your singing style to please your choir teacher? Spoiler Alert – Don't. Our conversation in this episode steers towards the importance of maintaining your unique voice. We bring you the insights from our high school choral teacher, the late Eugenia Powell, who reminded us that every setting requires its unique approach, especially gospel. We also explore the critical role of control in vibrato, how it demands practice and dedication, and the challenge it can pose.
As we round up the episode, we emphasize the essence of learning from other singers, and realizing that the beauty in music often lies beyond our comfort zones. We also delve into the significance of heart posture during congregational worship – it's not merely about hitting the right notes, but about reaching out to the Almighty with a pure heart. As we strip away the frills, we are left with the unblemished gospel, a reflection of what lies deep within us. Join us for this enlightening episode as we explore the joy, the power, and the unity that singing in with others brings!
