Week 12 - Videos/YouTube

  • love YouTube - one of the easiest applications for me to use
  • created an account and posted a comment at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-mIHk2rM0Q
  • use it to learn new pieces in my choir by:
  • find best version of a choir singing the piece we're practising in choir - for example here is link to one (ignore video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DNNdAROixI or this one with Oscar Peterson who needs a choir for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-mIHk2rM0Q download it and sing along with YouTube choir, music in hand
  • turn on the electric keyboard (situated right across from computer) and peck out the problem notes along with YouTube and sing at the same time - over and over and over again if necessary to 'get it'
  • above process guaranteed to clear a room in seconds
  • chose above videos first one for the audio (I don't look at video too depressing) and second one for audio and video because this is my favourite of his (Peterson) and we sing both
  • sent video to leader
  • what I dislike about YouTube: too much space taken up for comments - many are so ridiculous

  1. Hi Lies,
    Never thought about using YouTube for choir rehearsal! Should see if I can find any excertps from Haydn's Creation on there ...
