How does singing in a chorus differ from taking private vocal lessons?
Singers in the chorus receive training in healthy vocal production in a group setting. As in a private lesson, warm-up exercises develop good breathing habits and vocal placement. In addition, participating in chorus builds ensemble skills, including ear training, part holding, and blending one’s voice with those of others, that would be difficult to hone in the context of private lessons. Choral singing also fosters teamwork and cooperation.
