Choir Training.
Our aim is to provide a means of learning the notes to choral music in a manner that is easy to grasp and enjoyable to learn.
A massive amount of time at rehearsal can be consumed just by learning the
notes, however, by continual listening to the notes, learning them in advance
and identifying them with the score, you can prepare yourself or your choir to
sing a part competently from the very start; choir training time can
effectively be better utilised for working on dynamics and presentation.
Note Perfect has been providing choral music for vocal training since 2001. On
this site you will find aids to help you enjoyably learn the notes to selected
choral works, and help you sing your part confidently.
By using our recordings Choral Directors can organise their choir
members to concentrate on specific music for singing at rehearsal.
The orchestral or accompaniment parts on our recordings are quietened slightly
with the vocal part highlighted on the piano. The other parts especially on
fugal choruses can be heard on other instruments as required. By understanding
the parts that you don't sing, your part and entries can be more clearly
understood. We also provide an accompaniment version with little or no help, so
that you can become even more confident for singing your part.
We suggest listening to a track or tracks, with the highlighted part several
times without any attempt to sing with them; then try singing with the track
without the words. Get the notes right first - then once you have the notes
right, add the words. As you get more confident sing with the accompaniment
version that has no highlighted part. (Where possible we put the
"help" and "no help" versions on one CD. Where this cannot be
done we give the purchaser the option to purchase separately or in our double
CD packs The Choruses of Handel's Messiah are an example of this). NB. There is
a distinction between downloads, and CD's.
