show choir copyright licensing UFMUE

shared by amgartner on 24 May 17 - No Cached
  • For example, the song Yesterday, written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, was originally written for guitar and vocals. If one wants to make an arrangement of this work for a show choir, one must add in the various vocals, the instruments needed for accompaniment, and the parts for those various instruments. Thus, a custom arrangement license is needed and the permission of the publisher or rights’ holder is required to make this derivative work.
  • cutting and pasting or re-typing the music into a notation program, one must obtain a custom arrangement license.
  • amgartner on 24 May 17
     
    This article discusses the various types of licenses and permissions needed to be compliant with copyright law, specifically geared toward show choirs. Information like this is important to know as a choir director so that you can ensure that the music you are performing isn't infringing on any laws. It also protects your school/organization from unwanted (and often hefty) fines.

    Choral Potpourri/Choral Ethics: Auditions is a blog article by Marie Grass Amenta about a man who began his career as a demanding and emotionless choir director. His interpersonal skills were non-existant with his choir. After self-reflection he soon discovers this is not really who he is. A young girl who auditioned for his choir was seen crying afterwards and he decided he can't pretend to be someone he isn't. That experience was a life-changing moment after which he left his current position and went to a community chorus and is now in a more relaxed, enjoyable environment for all.

  • The first thing I use is an app for iOS called Attendance2. Every kid is given a QR code, and when they walk into the room they scan in.
  • I like using SmartMusic, not only for projecting sight-reading exercises on the screen and running through them that way, but also for assessment of sight-reading skills.
  • In general, when you integrate technology you are trying to move into transformation, where you transform what you are doing to things you could never do before. The first entry level is substitution, where you are just substituting technology for something else. Then you augment your activities and improve on what you are doing.

    This is an excellent list by esteemed conductor Karen Bruno that showcases several pieces that are great for treble choirs. The best part of the list is that it doesn't showcase the same tried-and-true standards, but rather she goes beyond the typical scope and brings in works that are not so common. It's a great resource for programming!

From the front of the choir: 10 exercises guaranteed to get your singers listening more... - 0 views

ufmue 10 exercises listening

shared by veanda on 10 Feb 19 - No Cached
  • hear the silence – every song starts from silence. Remind your choir. Ask them to stand in silence and focus on the sounds they can hear from outside the rehearsal room (wind, cars, children playing, dogs), then ask them to re-focus on the sounds from inside the rehearsal space (breathing, creaking floor, shuffling, throat clearing, doors banging).
  • sing the same note and disappear – choose a note that everyone can sing comfortably in the same octave for quite some time. Get everyone to stand very close together facing different directions. Mix the usual parts up. Everyone starts to sing on an ‘aw’ as a sustained drone. Tell the singers that after they’ve taken a breath they need to gently ease back into the overall sound. Ask them to match the quality and volume of all those around them. Tell them that you want them to disappear into the sound so it’s not possible to tell who is singing what.
  • stop conducting – one problem with a choir can be that the singers become so used to someone standing in front of them conducting that they stop taking responsibility for themselves and start to believe they can’t do it without that person guiding them. Without telling the choir, start a song off, gradually stop conducting, then walk off and listen. There will be an initial blip probably, but then they’ll manage fine and begin to listen more to each other. Repeat the exercise, but just give the starting notes and tell them they all have to begin together but without you bringing them in.

    Sometimes students have trouble with understanding what to listen for while singing or don't pay attention to anything other than their own individual part of the ensemble. This blog describes creative a ways to enhance how students listen within the choral ensemble.

    J.W. Pepper is a great resource for finding music for any traditional ensemble or instrument. Through the website, you can find music from various publishers, such as Hal Leonard or Boosey & Hawkes. When searching for music, it will bring up all available arrangements, as well as show the grade level of the work (with the exception of older, out-of-print music). There are also links and articles for other music resources.

    J.W. Pepper is the easiest site I've used when choosing and purchasing sheet music. It is very helpful that most of the pieces allow you to hear a performance of the music you want to buy and you are able to see the scores for the pieces, this has helped me determine if my groups can play the piece before I buy it. I can see if the range is too high for trumpets, if there are a lot of string crossings for violins, etc.

    J.W. Pepper is a website to access many types of music scores. Creating an account is very easy, and there is no annual fee. I find many pieces that work for my all my varying ability ensembles through this site because it offers various arrangements of the same work. I can sometimes find a piece in SATB and 2-part. Prices of music keep rising, but they have great customer service and shipping is usually quick. Many selections on the website are accompanied by a recording of the piece, but not always in the voicing selected.

    The purpose of this resource is to help students with ear training for interval recognition using familiar tunes. The musical content is in the form of links to YouTube clips that demonstrate different intervals. This source is valuable for teachers because it builds on what students know (the familiar tunes) and provides immediate links for patterns of intervals both ascending and descending. It also allows you to select only the examples you want to use and print them out on their own chart. It also provides tutorials and music facts about theory and technology. Like many other software programs, it offers a free trial, making it more marketable and appealing to teachers and students alike.

    This site offers a service that one wishes they had until they realize it exists. Essentially, if offers lists of songs that can be used to teach intervals. For many choirs - both middle and high school - the majority of students have not had proper ear training. A fun and effective way to do this remedially is to use familiar or easy to sing songs that students can reference to develop their ears. This site puts many song titles in one place to help facilitate that.

    This is a resource to gather public domain sheet music and lyrics. It is good for developing your own lessons and avoiding copyright, and also for programs which may not have a lot of money for new music. There are also composer pages, although I don't think these are exactly helpful. It lacks information other than birthdays and a general sentence explaining who the composer is.
