Why the vocal training of each choir is different?

October 27, 2018[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The answer seems to be very simple, and actually, it is simple, but it reserves so many interesting things, so it worth to have a post about it.
The reason behind of this is that each person has different voice capabilities. We are different in terms of volume, tone, pitch, and comfortable range, and our vocal strain ability and agility are important determination factors in the songs that are worth for us to sing.

As choir singers there is another aspect that is worth to focus on. When we choose a choir or a seat, on one hand it is good to pay attention to be among people with same type of voice, on the other hand to focus on technically how to sing.

Of course, an amateur choir works for the joy of singing primarily, and it has no priority to build technical know-how. Same time I could observe on my choir members that they could find their optimal neighbours, and their technical knowledge improved two-three times more within a couple of weeks. That is why it is so important, because the members within the choir started to assimilate to each other, so the conductor will also be happier, and the audience could expect more beautiful result soon. Anyway, be careful: avoid making this as a source of unnecessary tense. Some people will pay attention to this, others maybe would not be aware of this, but we also have an impact on each other by instinct. It would not be any good if this became another source of conflicts among people with different views. When we pay attention to enjoy ourselves vocally during the rehearsals too, for sure, the common experience of the choir would provide more value for us.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The most outstanding positive outcomes of singing in a choir are the following: benefits for well-being and relaxation, improved breathing and posture, social, spiritual and emotional benefits, and positive effects on the immune and cardiovascular system. In the present study, I examine the well-being of a person through the measurement of satisfaction with life. 88 singer and non-singer female student participated in the study. I measured their extracurricular activity and its frequency, and the factors of singing influencing well-being. Main results show that there is a significant difference between life satisfaction of singers and non-singers – singers achieving higher scores on the scale. This result can provide a basis for further examination of the Hungarian choir population concerning wellbeing. In the future social aspects of singing should be studied and more emphasis should be placed on the impact of extracurricular activities.”
