Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Choral Pedagogy written by Frank Abrahams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the landscape of choral education changes - disrupted by Glee, YouTube, and increasingly cheap audio production software - teachers of choral conducting need current research in the field that charts scholarly paths through contemporary debates and sets an agenda for new critical thought and practice. Where, in the digitizing world, is the field of choral pedagogy moving? Editor Frank Abrahams and Paul D. Head, both experienced choral conductors and teachers, offer here a comprehensive handbook of newly-commissioned chapters that provide key scholarly-critical perspectives on teaching and learning in the field of choral music, written by academic scholars and researchers in tandem with active choral conductors. As chapters in this book demonstrate, choral pedagogy encompasses everything from conductors' gestures to the administrative management of the choir. The contributors to The Oxford Handbook of Choral Pedagogy address the full range of issues in contemporary choral pedagogy, from repertoire to voice science to the social and political aspects of choral singing. They also cover the construction of a choral singer's personal identity, the gendering of choral ensembles, social justice in choral education, and the role of the choral art in society more generally. Included scholarship focuses on both the United States and international perspectives in five sections that address traditional paradigms of the field and challenges to them; critical case studies on teaching and conducting specific populations (such as international, school, or barbershop choirs); the pedagogical functions of repertoire; teaching as a way to construct identity; and new scholarly methodologies in pedagogy and the voice.

Download or read book NEW PRACTICAL METHOD OF FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES FOR CHOIR written by Daniele Venturi and published by Isuku Verlag. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This method synthesizes a work I began in 1987 which involved several vocal ensembles. Above all, I would like to mention “Gaudium choir” to whom are dedicated most of these exercises. This method has been thought as a sort of “ideal journey” that can be done by a choir or vocal ensemble for a period of a decade at least. These exercises have been written with the aim to fill in, until a certain extent, choir-singers technical and musical deficiencies, as my choir has. Many of the singers with whom I have worked, seem to have problems in reading or learning music, in particular in memorizing texts. They were often lacking a sense of rhythm, besides having a musical ear to improve as a result of many intonation problems (ex. diatonic intervals within the same pure octave). Sometimes our amateur choirs, but also professional ones, are lacking in some important parts considered essential for a musician background however underestimated or even ignored by many choirmasters. I have decided to entitle this book: “New practical method: functional exercises for choir” because each exercise has been thought to improve a specific musical matter as vocal training, musical phrasing and intonation. Exercises are not in a progressive order, as usual, but alternately according to their musical and didactic function. The method shows a sort of “general plan” which can be followed by a choirmaster; however, it can be used also, as a kind of “Reference book”, that I wish can be useful to improve choir musical skills. In my opinion, methods that are structured according to ascending levels of difficulties, are never going to be done until the end. Usually, the simpler exercises are carefully chosen from the index by students to avoid the most difficult ones, which are obviously omitted. This necessarily means that a student will not improve as much as he could do from his initial stage of knowledge. Each exercise has been thought to solve one by one choir problems and those of a single voice. This manual is divided into four sections: the first part contains vocalizes and preparatory exercises or a series of exercises that can be learned by a group in a very short time if they are practiced with patience, constant effort and methodology. In the second section you can find “Exercises to sung reading on different tempos”. These pieces are written following the main harmonic-scheme: I-IV-I (2r) V-I of major scale and can be performed also in minor keys as all the other exercises of this method. Voices can be freely moved around to obtain various choral sounds and also many other ways to solve vocal intonation problems of a choir. When a choir-singer will have learned the basic harmonic-scheme he can concentrate on rhythm and different tempos that are going to change for each exercise. In this way, choir singer will improve his reading skills in a natural way. Third section is on “Polyphonic singing”. Based on the same harmonic-scheme, these exercises are at a higher level with a contrapuntal writing inside. Then we get to the “heart” of this method: “Practical exercises for choir”. It consists in different exercises for choral singing, using specific techniques to raise the level of the choir from both a technical and musical point of view. These techniques combine intonation as psycho-acoustic features, without forgetting a careful ear-training and an effective memorization. Each exercise should be practiced using all possible phonemes. For this reason it is necessary that the choirmaster changes consonants and vowels articulation to solve specific problems of the choir. I hope it is quite clear that the use of consonants and vowels in the exercises, as well as dynamics, are merely intended as suggestions and can be changed at any time. I wish with this method to be able to help any choir to improve and get better. One’s never have to forget that a chorus is a wonderful, but at the same time, mysterious instrument. Here you can express the deepest feelings of human beings, make closer friends, improve your temperament and much more. At last, I must say, that a choir is mainly a “school of life” that is the highest way to practice “Great music”, without forgetting that is also the most economical one! Daniele Venturi
Download or read book Choral Conducting and the Construction of Meaning written by Liz Garnett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a truism in teaching choral conducting that the director should look like s/he wishes the choir to sound. The conductor's physical demeanour has a direct effect on how the choir sings, at a level that is largely unconscious and involuntary. It is also a matter of simple observation that different choral traditions exhibit not only different styles of vocal production and delivery, but also different gestural vocabularies which are shared not only between conductors within that tradition, but also with the singers. It is as possible to distinguish a gospel choir from a barbershop chorus or a cathedral choir by visual cues alone as it is simply by listening. But how can these forms of physical communication be explained? Do they belong to a pre-cultural realm of primate social bonding, or do they rely on the context and conventions of a particular choral culture? Is body language an inherent part of musical performance styles, or does it come afterwards, in response to music? At a practical level, to what extent can a practitioner from one tradition mandate an approach as 'good practice', and to what extent can another refuse it on the grounds that 'we don't do it that way'? This book explores these questions at both theoretical and practical levels. It examines textual and ethnographic sources, and draws on theories from critical musicology and nonverbal communication studies to analyse them. By comparing a variety of choral traditions, it investigates the extent to which the connections between conductor demeanour and choral sound operate at a general level, and in what ways they are constructed within a specific idiom. Its findings will be of interest both to those engaged in the study of music as a cultural practice, and to practitioners involved in a choral conducting context that increasingly demands fluency in a variety of styles.
