Know Your Music

This would seem to be the first step in singing a piece of music well, yet it is amazing how many quartets and choruses choose not to know their music.

  • Own your notes and words.
  • Learn your notes and words correctly the first time!
  • Sing on top of your notes.
  • Understand your entrances and exits and how they fit into the music.
  • Understand how your notes fit into the music.

Again, recording yourself and checking your own singing against the written piece is the best way to own your music.
