The Choir Cikgu

I have less than half of the choir today due to Their upcoming school holidays!

And their inner listening caught me by surprise today! First time trying this out with them. First I took out two notes (not in video) then proceeded to increase the challenge by taking three notes. Salute to the power of solfege!

Everything has been so fast paced lately - so many things to do and think about. I thought it was just regular Friday when we recorded this. I wasn't even dressed for it thinking I would not be in the video. Even recorded the accompaniment on the piano moments before we took this 😅 Nevertheless, still grateful for this award ✨

Trying out new repertoire with Pink Melody Choir. Still working on our placement and diction - May a Rainbow Run Beside You arr. Mark Burrows.

Full weekend indeed. My voice student had a performance at Nu Empire yesterday! Zenia's nine and only started classes last November. This is her second time performing on stage. Super proud of her! ❤️

Rising Voices Choir on Teacher's Day. Happy to be almost completing a song and finishing off the session with a quick game! Makes me so happy to hear their laughter ❤️

Remembering this moment always. Turning pain into purpose.

Sounding raw and messy is part of being in a choir. It's a matter of how we slowly mould this sound into a shape. As a conductor, it's interesting to see how different each choir is.

Our situation today - 60 girls with a mixture of more newbies than seniors. The choir culture is there but sometimes hidden behind chatter and plain ol' kiddo antics. We've had many typical distractions too since the beginning of the year - school holidays, other competitions, you name it.

With a combo of these things, we tried our best yesterday to do this song in three parts! Not bad I would say la✌🏼😄
