Arrive early to a show.

Silence your phone!

Listen to your neighbours, not just yourself.

Eat healthy. Not too much, not too little.

Open your mouth to sing!

Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.

Watch your director.

Keep your music in order.

Turn your pages early.

Learn your range and your change.

Stay home when you’re sick.

Count the rests - all of them!

Practise your music - any time, anywhere!

Read the Tips for Singers pages - lots of good info there!

Sing with confidence, not just volume.

Keep hydrated. Room-temperature water is best.

Learn some music terms.

Follow your director.

Smile when you sing!

Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.

Engage your audience.

When the song ends, END IT. Watch for the cutoff.

Check your posture - face forward, not straining up or down.
