    I am a part of the Huntsville Community Chorus Youth Chorale. We are a choir made up of kids in grades 7-12. Last year we were invited to sing with choirs all over the country for Mr. John Rutter’s last performance at Carnegie Hall. We would be in the first act singing Gloria. It was an amazing honor for all of us. We spent lots of time preparing this song all year, and it was definitely a challenge. It was very difficult to learn a song of this complexity in a way that was worthy of a performance like this. On May 22 our choir got on the plane to New York, overflowing with excitement for the days to come. We drove through the city towards our hotel. We spent the rest of the day exploring Times Square. The following three days were filled…

    Cultures provide people with ways of thinking, seeing, hearing and interpreting the world. Even if we all speak the same words they can mean totally different things based on a person’s culture. When a person must translate for understanding and to communicate effectively the potential for misunderstandings increases. Understanding behavioral and emotional constraints can also assist in the communication process. For example, teaching in a Title 1 school where the student population is mostly free and reduced lunches a teacher must remember that most communication must be basic and to the point. We cannot “speak over” the parent’s head or misunderstandings are a definite occurrence.…

    The Piedmont Choirs

    The members of the Piedmont Choirs prioritize the tuning of the choirs above almost all other aspects of the music we sing. Some people I have sung with in choir have absolute pitch, which means they can identify or sing any given note without the help of any instrument, and a multitude of people I have sung with have relative pitch, which means they have some notes memorized. I was in the flagship ensemble of the Piedmont Choirs the year a choir I was in was the most consistently in tune. We spent that year preparing for a choral competition in Bratislava, and the training combined with our determined mindsets gave us plenty of payback by June. We toured through Germany and Austria before arriving in Slovenia. Our first day in Bratislava was also the first day of the festival we were competing in. That night, the festival began with a concert featuring all the choirs participating. We were notably excited to hear the choirs we would compete with and hoped to produce a quality first impression.…
