Choir director's analysis of a new choir score - tempo, vocal warm ups, conducting | ENQUIRE 2 CHOIR

So in today’s video, I am going to do a kind of analysis on a choir score for you, the exact way I do it in my work time. I think the amount of information you can get without even having a choir in front of you yet to sing the score, without a piano, without singing the score yourself, without even having a reference, just by studying the score in front of you – is truly astonishing. And I want to show you how far that can take you. Additionally, you are going to see how much information you can get from a single page – about tempo, conducting, possible problems, ways to solve them, etc. I aim for this analysis to be extremely useful, so I hope you stick around.
The full score I will be doing this for in this video is Joy to the world, the famous Christmas carol.

Hello and welcome to Enquire 2 Choir! :)
This is a channel created for everyone working in the choir field; aimed to help mostly non-professionals, who are in a choir, who are looking into starting a new choir, who have certain questions about managing, directing or conducting a choir, because there is a lot of work when it comes to choirs!
My name is Iva, and I am a professional pianist who somehow landed a career conducting and managing several choirs - so I know from experience how difficult it can be when you don't have any help. It doesn't matter if your choir is a big or small one, if it's a church or a school choir, if its members know how to read music or not. Every choir is an important choir because it assembles people wanting to sound great, and to feel accomplished. This is why every week I will try my best to give the most efficient advice on issues concerning from music to management.
So go on, subscribe, and be a part of Enquire 2 Choir!
