Weekly Monday Rehearsals at Queen Margaret College

Your Guide to Weekly Rehearsals

Young singers gather for focused choir rehearsals that build vocal technique, choral blend and musicianship skills. Participants warm up together, work on breathing and tone, then rehearse a varied programme of classical pieces, world music, musical theatre numbers and New Zealand compositions. The session suits youth aged 6 and over, with separate groups for different ages and experience levels. Beginners receive guidance while more experienced singers tackle advanced harmonies and performance details. These rehearsals run weekly on Mondays during term time only, giving families a reliable rhythm for the school year. Attendees should bring their voice, water and enthusiasm; sheet music is provided on site. The format keeps everyone active through group singing, sectional work and occasional run-throughs of upcoming performances.

• Structured vocal warm-ups to develop range and control
• Choral exercises that improve blend and listening skills
• Repertoire practice covering classical, world and local works
• Performance preparation including stage presence and dynamics
