Happy summer! For those of us busy planning the fall season, we hear Christmas music wafting on the breezes and see twinkly lights in every sunset. And what keeps choral directors up at night over the summer? The big question is – will the singers remember how to breathe, tune and shape a phrase when we start up again in the fall?
Here are my short and sweet ideas for keeping that voice in shape:
1) hum, hum and then hum some more
2) stay hydrated
3) walk or move as briskly as you can in order to wind yourself once in a while
4) sing along to whatever recordings you love
5) breathe with intention at least a few minutes every day
That’s it! Have a great summer and stay tuned to our facebook page and website for all the exciting events, concerts, shows and ideas for the fall. Not to mention, “throwback Thursdays”!
And of course, our regular Friday emails to all members will start back up again in August.
