FEBRUARY 3rd, 2020
Great rehearsals this week (Saturday & Monday) and it was really good having Caroline with us Monday. I think that will be our plan for the next two rehearsals, so I’ve added it in red to the list below.
MY DISCIPLINE:
For me, I’m working all this music 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, evening) for about 15+ minutes. I go one time through with one of the YouTube Videos (with my music until memorized) and utilizing the choral-ography as much as possible. (I think I’ve got 7 or so tabs with YouTubes in my Chrome- I just do one after another!)
I don’t know what your discipline is (this one may not work for you), but if you don’t have a daily discipline, develop one where you can spend some time with the music. Thanks!

TO DO LIST (SATB):
The Argument
o Memorize- memorize all!
o There are tracks on this in Chorus Connection. To get to all the tracks in Chorus Connection:
§ Go to the Member Portal https://www.coppellcommunitychorale.com/member-portal
§ Enter password Broadway101
§ Click on the arrow for Rehearsal Tracks
§ Click on Chorus Connection (note login info if this is your first time)
§ Click under Music in the top left menu panel for both SATB and SSAA Variations
o Watch the Vancouver Youth Choir Video for how we will do “choral-ography” with looks, crossed arms, gestures, etc.). Feel free to make notes on your own- that will save us time on Saturday (this is also good to practice with once memorized!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8vxLHDDeI0
