Our two choruses are separate groups, but we do handle rehearsals in much the same way.
Here’s some information that you might enjoy reading.
Tuesday evenings might look like this:
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT ASK
Do I need to read music?
No. Like walking, reading music is learned one step at a time.
I don’t have a solo voice, I just want to sing.
We sing together as a group, you will learn how to make the most of your voice.
Will I have to audition by singing alone in front of a group?
No. If you decide to become a member, you will be auditioned in a very simple way with others singing alongside you.
Rehearsal notes::
Chorus Rehearsals are Tuesday evenings
starting at 6:00pm
Down Manor
1950 Sterling Place, Hood River
Harmony of the Gorge meets in the banquet room
on the 4th floor.
The RiverTones men’s chorus meets in the craft room
on the main floor.
Everyone’s voice is uniquely their own. Some of us have “high” voices and some of us have ‘low” voices — we can hear the difference, but where does your voice fit into the “low to high” musical notes that we hear on the radio, in church, in the shower or car, etc??
Here’s an illustration showing the middle portion of a piano with Middle C and showing the ranges of male and female voices. On an average,:
For fun, just start singing or humming “Row Row Row Your Boat” — based on early childhood memories, your first note will probably be Middle-C (or men might start on the lower C)… but “C” is somehow locked into our heads.
