Choral Ensemble Intonation (Method, Procedures and Exercises)—
James Jordan & Matthew Mehaffey.
Faced with persistent intonation problems
in their own choirs, authors James Jordan and Matthew Mehaffey developed an
innovative new method of choral ensemble solfege that offers dramatic improvement
in tuning any choral ensemble. Not just a temporary fix, this method encourages the
building of intonation skills within the choral rehearsal setting, using solfege syllables in
creative ways to develop aural capabilities in each individual singer. The related video
shows these techniques in action with surprising results. Topics such as good vocal
production, physical movement and modal analysis are also discussed to aid in the
teaching and learning process. Practical and effective, this is a helpful tool for choir
directors at every level.
