Each rehearsal of Dolce Canto includes some warm-up exercises to build vocal range and strengthen breath support. Learning healthy vocal production is important during these formative ages, so we focus on correct singing posture and developing good habits.
While there will be opportunities for members to do some solo work, our main focus is on learning how to blend our voices into a good choral sound. We do this by learning to listen to each other and working toward matching our sounds.Â
Rehearsals also include working on repertoire in preparation for performances. During the fall semester we learn some of our standard songs and concentrate on getting ready for Christmas appearances. In the spring semester we work toward a feature concert that we will schedule at the end of our season.
