Most schools will put on a production or evenings performances and this will usually involve a school choir and although most choirs try their best, here are a few tips in the best ways of how to turn a group of individual singers into a collective choir. The children might even learn a few life lessons too!
Breathing techniques done at the beginning of each choir session will not only help get the very best sound quality from the novice choir but are especially good with children and young adults as it will help them stay calm and focus on their objectives, which will help them (and you) listen. Making sure they have plenty of drinks as this will also encourage a better sound, so providing water will ensure their vocals are well hydrated and breathing properly.
Splitting the group into four basic parts will help you provide a range of singing that will be harmonious as well as powerful. In most cases splitting male and females will help - put them into the four main groups of soprano, alto, tenor and base. It is usual for only males to sing base but some females can sing tenor parts. Split them as equally as you can in terms of number but really checking the range and vocal ability of each individual will help you get a sense of what songs would be suitable for the choir.
If a choir is all one gender this can reduce the amount of song choices they can perform but making sure that the individuals within each section are not straining for notes is important because otherwise the sound quality will be poor.
