Attending Choir Concerts is important for numerous reasons, a few of these reasons consist of improving your public speaking and performing, developing new friendships, learning how to express yourself in new and different ways, learning to have better elegances and posture, learning to expand their preferred music, and last but not least being in choir and performing helps you decide rather or not you would like pursue a musical career.
•Students develop skills of performing and speaking in public. Some students need help developing these skills. Many people in choir are scared to sing or speak in public and in front of their peers and others because they fear getting made fun of or discriminated for how they sing or speak.
•Students
develop new friendships with fellow peers and the Director. It is important to have a friendship with your peers and Director because Choir may seem boring and not fun because you aren’t as involved as the other Choir members. Which may make you feel left out, and not accepted as part of the “team” or group. •Students find new ways to express themselves and their feelings throughout music. Students who sing while expressing themselves normally look and sound more enthusiastic. When someone likes a song or can relate to the song they normally look happier and they project more to the crowd. • Attending concerts can help with a performers elegance and stance while performing. Watching Professionals or people who have performed longers stance and elegance or how they present themselves. Can help new performers on how to improve their stance and elegance. Which will make them look more professionals and will also help the performers to exceed their projection. •Attending concerts can help expand a person's musical assortment. Most people have a few different kinds of music they prefer to listen to. But in Choir most people excel their musical diversity. When a Director chooses songs to sing for upcoming concerts to get a good grade the performer must learn to sing the songs with passion. Being in Choir and performing in concerts can you decide rather you would like to pursue a musical career or not. Performing in choir can help you decide rather you could see yourself in a musical career or if you have other thoughts on what career path you want to choose. You can be very passionate about music and still pursue a different career.
On March 13th the Rochester Oratorio Society and Houghton College Choir performed at the Hochstein Performance Hall in the city of Rochester. It was a predominately vocal concert with an accompanying pianist. The main performance of the evening was the Rochester Oratorio Society’s rendition of Johannes Brahms’ “Ein deutsches Requiem,” in which vocal soloists Elena O’Connor and Benjamin Bloomfield took the front stage, and Linda Boianova joined Kevin Nitsch as a second pair of hands behind the piano.
Music is a passion of mine, this comes with my love for performing on-stage. I play guitar in the School Ensemble and clarinet in the School Concert. I was also proud to be awarded a third place for reciting the Quran (in Arabic) at the Annual Qirath Competition 2014, which is indeed a vocal competition.
Choir is a form of musical art. It consists of four different types of groups, and each vocal ranges from highest to lowest. The way people in choir communicate with each other is when they harmonize, they learn about one another through the emotions of a song they sing in unison. Choir is not only for people who can sing, it is
What do you think about when you think of singing? Do you think about the latest rock or pop craze? Or do you think about some opera singer on stage? For me, when I think about singing, I think about All City Choir.

On November 16th, 2013, I attended a concert choir, fall choral concert. This event took place on the Wheaton College Campus, in the Edman Chapel at 7:30 pm. The chapel was well-lit, with long pews for the audience to be seated. The concert began with the audience looking up into a balcony, where the ensemble stood in neat rows. They watched the conductor, who stood on a stage in front of the audience, waiting for their cue.
Because musical theatre inspires people to be themselves, a person can learn how the process of an audition goes.
On Wednesday, May 23rd, I attended the College Choir concert in the Reamer Campus Center. The choir performed a variety of songs, ranging from pieces in Latin to traditional American folksongs. Two of the pieces featured solos, and one even featured percussion instruments. Mrs. Elinore Farnum provided piano accompaniment for each of the songs, and performed beautifully. I was extremely impressed by the talented choir members and their ability to sing such a varied range of songs.
Holding music tends to be a deterrent to good singing posture. This tends to pull the singing stance inward, rounds the shoulders with a lower sternum and head. A choral director can insist that the students hold their music up to help correct singing posture. When holding music, the students should hold their music high enough that they can see just over top of their music to see the conductor. The students s...
Band requires dedication and discipline. Participating in band helps students to develop the skills they will need to succeed in life. Some of the skills include problem solving, decision making, teamwork, building self-confidence, self discipline, and responsibility (MusicforAll). In band nobody gets left behind. Unlike in sports if someone can not play as well as others they are not benched instead they have to work harder to play with the others in the group. Participation in band also brings the students together by a creative drive (Intolubbe-chmil). There are many other benefits to participation in band including social skills, a sense of belonging, a sense of accomplishment, cooperation, and commitment (Hallam 2). Participating in bands also helps to develop trust, respect, compromise, and the ability to negotiate (Hallam 10). Students who are in band are constantly using their memory when performing which helps them to memorize things at a quicker rate (Nafme). Playing in a band develops the students language and reasoning skills (Nafme). Those who participate in band are more likely to learn to improve their work
I recently attended the St. Marys Area School District All District Concert held in the high school’s Carpin Auditorium on May 18, 2017. The concert featured over 200 musicians in grades four through twelve, all coming from the various schools in the district (St. Marys Area School District). Parents, relatives, and fellow students made up the audience of passionate supporters. Therefore, the audience was enthusiastic and quick to applaud every performance. The instruments included typical instruments such as flutes, trumpets, drums, the piano, and violins, plus many more. There were also pieces performed solely by the various choirs throughout the district. The performance was a showcase of the talent of various musicians at multiple grade levels.
It is about 6:40 a.m. when my parents first hear me sing on a typical school day, and, since the acoustics in the bathroom are amazing, they can hear every note of the song. I have been singing since I learned to talk, and I joined my first choir in Kindergarten. Singing in a choir is something I will be doing until I die, whether it be with a professional or amateur ensemble. I have tried being a solo singer, and although I enjoy it, I find it more enriching to be a part of a choir when I sing. In the early years of singing in a choir, I thought this was a flaw. When I tell people I am in choir, I get the feeling that they think it is less impressive than being a solo singer. To them, it seems as though my choir is a crutch, a tool for covering up my own voice. However, singing as a soloist and singing in a group are two different activities that require slightly different skill sets. Although singing in my choir is my favorite of the two, I use both forms of singing to improve in both my regular life and my musical extracurriculars.
Throughout choir this school year, huge advancements have been made within many of the students, leading to tremendous growth. Coming into the first few weeks of choir class, the confidence of the students were low and it was a lengthy process to get through warm-ups, solfege, and ta-ka-di-mis correctly and on pitch. Walking into class currently, more students can be heard singing out and scales being sung in tune with ease. As voices have matured over this school year, many positive growths can be seen. For most students, this being their first year of high school choir, have more room to improve and achieve the level of talent as the members of concert choir. As the final concert of the year comes to a close, progress and direction for future years can be heard and seen through the music.
Singing is the skill of making musical sounds with your voice rather than an instrument (“Get” para. 2). To do this, one has to have sharp musical skills that have been molded to perfection over the years (“Get” para. 3). Some singers may be multitalented (“Get” para. 6). This means they may be able to sing as well as play instruments (“Get” para. 6). Being a multitalented performer usually takes more practice to master (“Get” para. 6). Singing in general takes many long hours to perfect (“Singer” para. 1). These practices usually consist of learning the songs, knowing where to go when the performer is onstage, and recording the songs until they’re how they’re supposed to be (“Singer” para. 1). A person in this career usually works as a soloist or member of a band or vocal group (“Singer” para. 2). A performer’s goal is trying to achieve the maximum amount of entertainment the audience can have (“Get” para. 5). This means the performer would have to keep the performance lively and interesting (“Get” para. 5). This is what a singer, musician, or performer in general does mainly for a living (“Musicians” para. 1). Concert halls and recording studios t...
