    Listen to your neighbours, not just yourself.
    Check your posture - face forward, not straining up or down.
    Keep hydrated. Room-temperature water is best.
    Turn your pages early.
    Read the Tips for Singers pages - lots of good info there!
    Watch your director.
    Silence your phone!
    Arrive early to a show.
    Keep your music in order.
    Not too loud, not too soft! Blend with the choir.

    Learn some music terms.
    Engage your audience.
    Learn your range and your change.
    Count the rests - all of them!
    Eat healthy. Not too much, not too little.
    Smile when you sing!
    Open your mouth to sing!
    Short syllables add punch. Long syllables add smoothness.
    Follow your director.
    When the song ends, END IT. Watch for the cutoff.
    Stay home when you’re sick.
