Chapter Chat for January 2024

SVC was happy to get back to rehearsals in January after the holiday break. The highlight of the month was a two-day coaching session with Caitlin Castelino, whose contagious enthusiasm and impressive knowledge of vocal technique was truly inspiring! Caitlin did some voice-placing the first night, and she then taught us how to find a better start to singing each phrase by doing a 3-dimensional breath, which makes use of all the space available for sound. She and Kristi tweaked the song arrangements a bit as they determined how best to strengthen singer unity and forward motion. And we had fun doing it!



The other news from us is that we're restarting our daytime chorus, "The Extension Chords". We're excited to have 17 members signed up so far who will meet twice per month for learning, singing, and socializing.
