| Preparing Choral Music for Rehearsal
By David West
Many of us have been guilty of pulling out music for a choir
rehearsal with out spending an adequate amount of time really
learning the piece. How long would the pastor or Sunday school
teacher last if such “lack of preparation” were to
be the norm. My dad would say “anything that is worth doing
is worth doing right.” The ministry of music is a vital
part of our worship services and the preparation should be first
and foremost important. Realizing that some music men may not
have the training to know how to prepare a song for rehearsal,
here is a step-by-step approach.
Below is a list of how every choir director ought to prepare
each choral piece.
- Divide your choral piece into logical sections (ABA etc.)
- Study each section
- Sing and play each voice part.
- Mark difficult intervals and rhythms in your score.
- Play short exercises that will speed the learning of these
more difficult passages.
- Study the text.
- Research its scriptural foundation.
- Use a dictionary to insure correct pronunciation.
- Take special note of sustained vowels and final consonants
at the end of phrases.
- Determine musically and textually logical phrasing and mark
where breaths should be taken.
- Note the dynamic markings.
