Just as my conviction in becoming a high school choir teacher started to slightly wane, this video completely restores it. Thank you

[@FictionWriter95]

Thanks, like I said it was only slightly but still this video reminded me of everything great about choral music and music in general

[@danicahu8201]

So true!

[@scarbotheblacksheep9520]

At Idaho State University, piano majors like myself had to perform in a large ensemble for 8 semesters. They are largely encouraged to choose choir, and most do. I'm glad I did. It also helps me be a better choral composer.

Profound statement from a master - I watch this every 6 months for a re-up on the human spirit! (Also woudl smash.)

[@randomprimate]

haha unless...?

[@seanhernandezmusic]

I can actually agree, in elementary school I sang...but as I got older, singing kinda disappeared from teaching. the elementary choir sand the star spangled banner every morning, but no one does that anymore. it's pretty sad

[@heddie152]

What a beautiful message

[@alexisclaudio5302]

Can you make another virtual choir? I would love to join as a youth!

[@anvitksytorntoystisklibzti4072]

Growing up in another country back in the day, they did make us sing the national anthem every monday morning... Not sure if that's still going on though.

I'm a french lyrical singer. In my country, despite the fact we gave it birth, profanes and some musicians underestimate the importance of polyphony. Even my singing teacher doesn't understand my passion, but I can't imagine my life whitout being part of a choir or a chorus. Since as long as I can remember, I've always needed to feel and share those magical moments...

[@GeneWaddle]

Yes

[@akihoblack3356]

can he sing doe?
