Choir at Eliette’s
A collection of exceptional human beings coming together over something that they love. Choir gives everyone the opportunity to learn singing techniques in an encouraging group environment. These classes are a perfect way for gaining confidence as well as strengthening your own skill set. Where ever you believe you are at in your musical journey, we cover a variety of genres and styles, so there is sure to be something for everyone. From our warm ups to our performances we grow not only as individuals but also as a Whanua here at Eliette’s Music Academy. Taking something simple and making it sound magnificent.
Choir at EMA gives everyone a chance to learn how to harmonise by using the simplest of tools and techniques demonstrated by the teachers. Classes are a fun and practical way to learn how get creative in music as well as work with a team of people you may not have worked with before. Coming together from all areas of life, connecting through the power of music.
We usually start with a fifth-teen minute warm up together, warming up our whole body as it is essential as a singer. During our exercises we go over the importance of breathing correctly, going over our vowel sounds and we have fun doing so. It’s always a bit of a laugh with the challenges the teacher sets for us.
After we are all ready, we focus closely on each of our parts. Taking it in sections, Dani would go through each individual part getting those to repeat the line after her. We get to witness and take part in something greater by just knowing our individual parts without the main melody as reference.
It always starts off sounding like chaos but when brought together by the other parts of the choir, we begin to see the full picture and it’s colourful!
