n Transform Your Choir's Sound (Exceptional
Choral Singing with Bel Canto Vocal
Principles)Laurier Fagnan. Transform Your
Choir's Sound was presented at the 2015 National
ACDA Conference in Salt Lake City. On this
exceptional DVD you will experience 75 minutes of
instruction by Dr. Laurier Fagnan to help transform
your choir. Dr. Fagnan has dedicated his career to
helping choirs create a more beautiful, energized,
in-tune and well-blended sound. This method is
the result of Dr. Fagnan's years of research on the
singing voice and vocal acoustics, as well as his
hands-on experience working with hundreds of
choirs around the globe. While bel canto principles
are typically associated with solo singing, they have
been extended here to benefit the art of choral
singing. The transformative results of this method
can be seen in cutting-edge, real-time acoustical
analysis that vividly displays the difference in
the sound before and after the principles and
techniques are applied. An instructional book with
detailed explanations of all principles that are on the
DVD is included.

in front" and the use of the "flip-flop" to achieve
different choral colors are just a few of the specific
points covered. Every serious choral director will
benefit from this information-packed DVD!
