Rehearsal Notes 09.12.19
Oohhhh you lovely festive lot! We had a really lovely rehearsal starting with Maria's 'breath of joy' warm up - put us in a really gentle mood didn't it!?

Lovely, happy rehearsal tonight! Thank you all for your love and energy. We sang a couple of Christmas bits and went through some of the harmonies for Fairytale of New York (at the end of Part 1).

It wasn't an easy song to teach as many of the choir hadn't heard it … Continue reading Show me how you do that trick…
Rehearsal catch ups…..
Our lovely West Bridgford Liberty Singers have some fairly significant gigs this summer and while I understand that life gets in the way of rehearsals - they don't get let off that lightly if they miss them! Here are the two halves of the rehearsal from Monday night.
What makes a great rehearsal?
I rarely come back from any of my choir rehearsals feeling that we had a 'bad' rehearsal. That would be huge failure on my part. Most of the rehearsals are really good! But just occasionally, you get a great one. How does this work!? Last Monday, my West Bridgford Liberty Singers met up for … Continue reading What makes a great rehearsal?
