Among the fabulous interest sessions scheduled for the Western Division Conference is “Movement: The Key to Making your Choir Sound Good.” This session – presented by Charlene Archibeque – will cite recent research into how movement helps people learn and retain ideas, concepts, and sounds. The clinician will be demonstrate movement of the singers’ bodies in vocalizes, as they rehearse a piece, and as they perform music, and move the singers into different positions both on and off the risers. Subtle movements—such as turning the head slightly—finger movements, hand and arm movements, modified tai-chi, and other current uses of the body in the act of learning and performing will be explored. Differences in timbre will be demonstrated as singers positions are changed.
