Episode Synopsis
Back on October 14th, we were fortunate to have an amazing workshop with master teacher, choral director and composer, Mark Sirett.
There were so many wonderful exercises he did with us that simply do not translate to written description or even audio clips; the only way to really appreciate the depth of the choral experience is to book a workshop with the man himself .
Here, I will attempt to give you a taste of just one moment of the 4 hours he gave to us.
This little audio excerpt illustrates two simple seeming exercises using Pierre's arrangement of "We Three Kings of Orient Are".
Both exercises could be adapted using any song.
The first exercise Marks works on our vowels and sound and mouth position and then he flexes our storytelling chops with the second exercise.
Thanks Mark!
