Every piano player that works with singers should learn this, because a voice is not a piano. If you can teach a singer to relate their pitches this way, they can practice without a piano, but be ready to perform with the piano.
I’m a high school music student during the pandemic (I play trombone, violin, and I’m a soprano in our choir) and this video had me in tears. We’ve been fortunate to perform live but with no audience and only 2 in person rehearsals at my school. These are the moments we take for granted before we don’t have them anymore - thank you for taking me back to what I love doing for a little while :)
Thank you TH-cam algorithm!!!!! It made me feel like I’m in a choir again. We have been staying safe & virtual in the pandemic, so no communal singing, but this brings me the joy of choir once again! :)
It’s crazy that there’s Guys in that crowd that are well above 60 and it just proves that singers always gonna sing like in basketball shooters are always gonna shoot
My choir director, we do major scale with numbers as well but we also choose 2 numbers to skip over so we actually have to pay attention and sing at the right time and the right notes and pitches etc. it’s really beneficial to learn how to skip around especially when you skip with mi , fa , sol since theyre quite similar and you can be off key easily
splatterofdarkness damn, I knew you were just saying but it’s kind of an dumb observation. Obviously there’s a ton of dudes here. Didn’t have to call me a idiot for it xD
AnOstrichYoutubing - the band played Hallelujah and the choir sang with us last year at our chrismas concert but the band was so much louder than the choir and we were playing in a gymnasium so the acoustics were trash. Also the orchestra wasn’t a part of it. I don’t understand why they separate the band and orchestra, we should all play together like an actual orchestra.
This is fantastic! At first I thought it was “just an exercise,” but it is REALLY and exercise in choral excellence. Tops to the directing, and I can only image what this group can perform if THIS is just a warm up.
@@fritz8498 you can use movable do (tonic is always do). Where I live we read vocal music by rewriting into numbers and learning the solfege that way. E.g. madahliturgi.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/o-holy-night-partitur-satb/
it just depends on the teacher’s preference. i’ve met people who do numbers, solfege, and some who just sing “da” while sightreading. it’s all personal reference.
vanno @vanno of course you can, I did that when I studied music theory. But movable Do is often mistaken with "I just sing all music like if it was in C major", numbers are more objective and it's more clear that what you are interesred in are the grades of the scales rather than the notes themself
@@fritz8498 hence we use numeric notation and sing the solfege. I understand this same method is also used in China. Either way has its pluses and minuses. Cheers.
Me: watches this video Also me: regrets quitting choir Still me: remembers that my choir director was emotional abusive and among other things, straight up told me that I couldn’t sing in front of the class
*Flashbacks to high school choir* As a freshman in high school this round always turned out to be a mess because at that moment, everyone forgot how to count to 8.
I know this in solfege! We do it in class quite often, usually splitting into voice parts and do a round, and thought the next group doesn't start until the first group has done 1 121. So instead of hearing 12 12 12 12, you hear 121 121 121 121 etc. We usually go straight from 123456787654321 to 8 878 87678 etc (in solfege of course) without a break in between. It's really fun to try and do the hand signs along
A girl in our choir when we would do the cannon with four groups would just sing one over and over again because it fits as you're going through. she couldn't remember how to do the whole thing and she would just go one one one over and over again until she knew it was over for her section 🤣🤣🤣
Choir kid 🙋♀️I learnt this when I was around 8 and this warm-up is pretty much for all ages hhhhhhh and there are so much more remixes and perfections to come up with along this one This chorus is doing so good!!! ρ(＾o^ )♪ happy singing! :D
I’m in my schools musical and we use this as a warm up, I’ve never done this as a warm up before so I don’t know the order of the numbers. Every time we sing it I stuff up 😂 all my friends know it and laugh at me
I remember this , i played clarinet and we used this for trick scales ( Sharps aren't my favorite) . I know this usually helps .... I would say i have progressed through my band years. Highest note i was able to hit was a Db or an Eb above the octave i believe . but for some odd reason i couldnt hit a D or E ... ( dont ask)
when you open too many tabs of the same video

probably a barbershop harmony society chapter with a chorus near you! there’s even a function on the BHS webpage to find ones close to you!
It literally does not matter if they use solfege or numbers! Numbers are perfectly fine for this exercise
Both ways are so much fun, though. 😂
I'd mess up the numbers all the time. XD
You get used to it after a while and it becomes natural
Wait till you have to do it with the alphabet
That's why solfege is better

Theory Training.
Aural Training.
Vocal Training.
All in a single exercise.
Simply excellent. Bravissimo Tuttiissimo!!
When i've done this they've made us do it backwards down from 8 after the ascending scale! Oh, i should have waited haha!
I want a canon of this with one group starting at 1 going up, and the other group at 8 going down.
We do this all the time in our theatre group
It kind of sounds and reminds me of those commercials that would say the phone numbers really fast at the end.

It's impressive being able to do it just one beat off, but I like the harmonies better when it is two beats off, as you get lots of thirds.

I love this warmup, ive used it constantly for like the last 4 years- since i learnt it
The ending was greatt, why am I enjoying this that much
The Count would love this choir! Imagine if these guys were invited onto Sesame Street...
I never thought 8 could sound so beautiful 🤧
I need more like this. I actually want to watch more like it.
It can be in solfege or numbers. Both have good effects for the vocals and especially for rhythm and harmony practice. ☺☺☺
This makes me miss chorus even more 😭 I miss warmups so much and just getting to sing with all of my friends.

Gah dang I'm impressed
What are you impressed by?
and im depressed
I just dialed this, and got a zoo in Mongolia?
😂😂😁lol

personal favourite warm up, watching this makes me happy
This is actually a very good warmup exercise. I might try it with my choir group. Thanks for sharing this! :)
And I can't even say the numbers correctly...😥
Why is it so weirdly pleasant to listen to?
These dudes are literally just practicing and I'm so entertained
Am i cracy or is there a overtone as the third at 0:18 ?
I have been doing this with my choir for years....they just love it..This Conductor is very good . Mary Anne David ( Sri Lanka )
love to see the variety of the member
This was one of my favorite warm-ups to do
do the exact same warmup for band and choir, the canon seems tricky
Why not use solfege?
1 = do, 2 = re, etc.
So you don't have to change the words when you change the key
@@fritz8498 you can use movable do (tonic is always do).
