Session 2: 11.15 | Choral Solfa Infusion |
This session will be hands-on, voices-on, practical and interactive. We will experience and explore many different ways in which the fundamental solfa system can be applied and of great benefit to your choir. The rewards are finer tuning and higher levels of musicianship. We will cover vocal and body warm-ups, canons, part-songs and repertoire, all infused with solfa. |
