Abstract

Abstract Chapter 4 shows how the principles embraced by the Natural Voice Practitioners’ Network translate into practice. First, it examines the function and rationale of the kind of vocal and physical warm up that typically opens a choir rehearsal or workshop. Reference is also made to the way in which vocal exercises may be designed specifically to help singers achieve the vocal quality associated with a particular repertoire. It then considers the process of teaching and learning by ear, primarily in terms of practicalities. It further explores the match between the natural voice ethos and songs from the world’s oral traditions and provides an overview of the kinds of resources available to community choir leaders. The final part of the chapter offers a more theoretical consideration of the politics of participation.
