Chorleitung Pop, Jazz, Gospel

Viac o knihe

Do you feel your choir could be more spirited, with singers listening to each other rather than just clinging to the notes? This comprehensive guide on choral conducting for pop, jazz, and gospel music addresses these concerns. Drawing from extensive experience, Martin Carbow discusses key topics such as rehearsal techniques, note-free choir work, ear training, and the essential groove within the choir. He explains technical terms, tackles rhythmic challenges, and shares his groove secrets. Christoph Schönherr delves into vocal improvisation, the interplay of word and sound, and the vital role of the choir director in jazz and pop settings. The book also covers further training opportunities for choir directors and choirs, auditions, concerts, voice training in popular music, accompaniment, arrangements, and more. Martin Carbow received the Special Award for best groove at the German Choir Competition in 2002 and has won accolades for his choral arrangements and compositions. He conducts workshops and teaches at various music academies. Christoph Schönherr has directed the jazz choir at Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg since 1987 and has taught ensemble conducting since 1990, currently holding a chair in practical music-making and its didactics.
