8 Ways to Sing Better Now -
1. Open your mouth when you’re singing!
Singers who keep their mouths mostly closed are likely tense in the tongue and are far from achieving maximum quality of tone. I like the two finger rule. If you can fit two fingers between your teeth while singing (esp on open vowels like “ah” and “oh”), then you’re good. If not, open your mouth more.

2. Relax the tongue.
After years of giving voice lessons, I’m convinced that 65% - 85% of all vocal problems involve tension in the tongue. Worst part is most people aren’t even aware of it. Look in a mirror while singing. If the tip of your tongue isn’t dominantly resting on your bottom front teeth then you’ve got problems. Relaxing the tongue more forward in the mouth will help.

3. Don’t take in too much air.
If you breathe in too much air, then you create pressure under the folds that can easily hinder you ability to sing freely. It can prevent you from singing high notes and it almost always causes tension in your neck. To fix it, become aware of just how little is involved in regular breathing and try to mimic that sensation when singing.

4. Keep the larynx steady.
If you don’t know what the larynx is, it’s where your adam’s apple is (or where it would be ladies). If this area of your neck is raising or lowering while singing, then you’re throwing off your whole vocal mechanism leading to many different complications. Rest your hand on your larynx while singing and make sure it stays steady.

5. Open and relax the back of the mouth.
This is equally as important as allowing the front of the mouth to be open, if not more. If the back of the mouth is closed off, then the quality of the sound is shot (and I guarantee you’re tense). To get a feel for it, hold the “ng” sound of hung and feel how closed that is. Now say “ah” like you’re in a doctor’s office… that’s more open. Leaving the back of the mouth open like the “ah” sound can help create a beautiful resonance in the voice.

6. Sing with ENERGY.
I can’t express this enough. Singing is a very physical activity. You must be energized and excited about what you’re doing or else it lacks passion (and it’s flat!). Singing with energy helps you hit higher notes and helps keep the sound out of the throat. Allow yourself to get excited before singing… do some jumping jacks or walk around a bit before getting started and realize just how much it helps.

7. Believe what you’re singing.
I once read a quote that has stuck with me for years. It was something along the lines of, “that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” Music is a form of expression. It’s alive and has a great ability to influence listeners. But that’s only true when you believe what you’re singing. Try to connect to the song through some personal life experience and see how alive the music you’re singing becomes.

8. Get out of your own way.
Singing should feel like speaking. There should be no pressing, tension, straining, reaching, or grabbing when vocally active. These sensations usually happen when we try to force the sound out of us. If you’re not able to sing something, try to bring it back to speech first. You’d be surprised how easy that high “C” can be when you speak it.

1d camp

2008-03-13T22:50:00.016+08:00

Hey Choir,

After the 1D camp and activities on 10th March,
3 members said they felt more confident standing infront of a crowd now.
All the members said they felt that there were more bonding between each members.
5 members rated the games 7/10.
7 members rated the games 8/10.
5 members rated the games 9/10.
This 1D camp is quite successful and there are many rooms for improvement.

We chose the games quite wisely according to what benefits the choir.
We played games like:
- Treasure hunt (Team-bonding, Teamwork)
- Popping crazy (Overcome of fear, Team-bonding, Confidence)
- Honey, If you love me (Confidence, Self-esteem)
- Animal sounds (Trust, Being able to sense using other parts of your body besides your eyes, Eg. Ears)
- Where's the grapes (Trust, Team-bonding)
- Dog and bone (Sense of urgency, Attentiveness)

For a Choir, we think the attributes we've organised for the games were quite useful cause:

Team-bonding: Helps the choir to be able to bond, make friends with one another and to sing as one.

Teamwork: In any organisation, teamwork is the most important, choir is not made up of one person, but many. Each and everyone of the members does make a difference!

Overcome of fear: All humans have fears, and fear of popping a balloon is the most common among girls. The game teaches us to have a sense of urgency will overcome almost any fears. If there is something you fear and you have the determination to overcome it in the shortest period of time. You can do it!

Confidence: As a singer, confidence is what you present yourself as. And as a choir, each and everyone of us must have the confidence to be able to stand up infront of a large crowd and present ourselves to the best. Confidence not only boost our self-esteem but also make us a better and more respectable person.

Trust: Trust among every member makes everyone bond together even further and be united to be able to produce a sound that is one.

Sense with your ears: As a Choir member, not only our mouth, throat, vocal chords, lungs, diaphragm and nose are important, our ears are also equally as important. to be able to hear every note with accuracy, figuring out chords, listening to a melodious Choir piece. The ears does it!

Sense of urgency: As said, it could be used to overcome fears, but also to feel much wanted and more determined to sing your best when competitions and performance dates are arriving to a much closer date.

Attentiveness: Hear more and talk less definitely works when you're studying or even listening to instructors and condutors when they are lecturing. When you pay attention, you will hear more and learn more. Instructions are the most important communication in a choir. eq. you would have to look at the signals given for each choral piece given by the conductor to be able not to sing wrongly and improve on it.

We hope after this camp, all members would learn something from it and benefit from it.
We'd also like to thank all members for their enthusiasm, support and cooperativity towards this camp.
We'll also try to improve on the activities for the Choir.
Feedbacks and comments are welcomed on the tagboard.

Do enjoy your holidays!

2008-02-26T22:55:00.006+08:00

practices

Dear Choir,

Next week, we'll be having full practice on:
- Monday, 4 February 2008

35 minutes after the concert.
- Friday, 11 February 2008
We'll be rehearsing in the hall at 2pm and the rest of the afternoon in the music room.
- Tuesday, 12 February 2008
We will be performing at the hall.

Recordings on 30/01/08 download:
As Long As I Have Music
Practice 1

We hope to see full attendance and let's work hard for the event.

30-1-08

2008-01-30T20:48:00.001+08:00

Dear Choir,

We hope to see better behaviour of all choir members.
Also, we hope that our attendance would improve and there will be no more late comings.
We have some new policies with regards to constant late coming and disruptive behaviours during choir practices.
We notice that recently there are many late comers with no valid reasons, hence we have decided to fine these members.
The fine will be that if you're late for more than 10 mins without any documents of absence or valid reasons, you would be fine 50 cents.
The accumulative minutes that you are late would also be recorded in the attendance marksheet and dealt accordingly as reflected in your cca points.
So, please be puntual.
And also, we noticed many members like to use their handphones during choir practices.
We hope to see our members concentrating on the practice and not multi-tasking. It is not only disruptive to other members, but also to the person who is trying to speak, address or teach infront (eg. Chairperson, Vice-chairperson, Ms Tay, SLs). The policy would be safekeeping your phones with our Secretary/Managers/Vice-chairperson until the practice is over. This policy would start next Wednesday. If we see improvements on the following Monday, we might consider dropping this policy but as soon as we see this disruption occuring again, we would start the policy with no hesitation or chances given.
Please understand our reasons for doing all this.
We really do not wish to do this, so we hope all unruly behaviours and attitudes that some members show to the choir would halt.

Thank you.

ps: Voting of choir logo will commence on next Monday after choir practice for the benefit of members whom do not have internet access or find it troublesome to vote in the blog.
Votes will be calculated together with the blog's vote and the logo with the highest number of votes would be officially on the choir-tee. We apologise that we had been dragging this on for so long.

2008-01-23T23:32:00.000+08:00

choice 5: 'g' of the regent is a treble clef and 'i' of the choir the regent torch

please vote at the navigation bar on the section 'polls'.
all members are to vote the poll.
the highest votes of the design shall be on the choir tee.

happy polling.

2008-01-17T21:58:00.000+08:00

Dear Choir

Done the proper image of the new choir tee using photoshop :x
but still had yet done the back :(
well, here it is !

the design would be something like this.
but the polo shirt for this is the baggy type.
due to some problems, the coloured logo could not be put into the ladies cut polo shirt template.
but we will be using the ladies cut polo shirt for the real choir tee.

cheers and enjoy!
ps: comments and new ideas are welcomed.

choir t-shirt

2008-01-16T23:19:00.000+08:00

Dear Choir

As you know, we will be having a new choir t-shirt.
It would be a white ladies's polo tee, preferably dry-fit.
(it might be a little tight fitting, as ms tay wants us to have a neater image rather than a baggy image. Those who dislike tight fit shirts can get larger sizes from us, but not to the extend of the shirt being over-baggy)
There would also be a choir logo at the front of the shirt.
At the back, it would be a phrase written in black with silver lining:
"Let Our Voices Be Heard".
And at the back, bottom right corner would be a barcode.
We are considering if you girls would like to personalise the shirt with your name.
But extra cost might be charged.
We will let you girls know the price after we have settled all the planning.

Here are some draft photos of the new tee:
(as it is just a draft, the real thing would be better and nicer):

The school logo would be in full colour and the treble clef beside it would be much more propotioned. Also, the fonts on the shirt would be much nicer.

This is the logo at the front. This does not look too good cause i draft it with my free hand using photoshop. The one we will be using for the shirt would be the real school logo and a nicer treble clef.

PS: This design has not yet been confirmed, there still might be changes to it and if there is any idea or comments about this design, feel free to tell me or inform me.

Li Yan would be doing the warm-up practices on the next practice. Please give her your utmost attention and support!

Mr Hawk Liu, our new instructor would be coming on next Monday. I hope the Choir could pay full attention to him and also conduct yourself in your best behaviour.

Alright, that's about all.
The back of the polo tee i had yet to make one sample.
So, i'll tell you girls in a later date.
Any enquiries, feel free to contact me at:

In view of the tight schedule and unsuccessful arrangements with the trainers, we will do the snorkelling at another time instead of this holiday.

And also, PLMGS Choir invites us to their performance this coming Friday (30th November). ticket prices are not confirmed. We will be able to learn lots from it. Reply to Ms tay if you are interested.

Please take note that there will be no Choir practice during December.

Lastly, do enjoy your holidays! ☺
