HOW LONG SHOULD A CHOIR REHERSAL LAST?
princeoftheb3:
I believe a Choir rehersal should last as long as it takes the choir to get the song right without the words in front of their faces, whether or not if it's for an event of some sort, because I don't believe you should do anything special just because you got a huge crowd, I believe you should do the same thing for the Members that you do for the guests.

Both choirs (at different churches) rehearse 1 1/2 hours. We practice a few minutes little longer if we're still working on a specific song or part. We sing two selections on Sundays.

We practice for about 1 1/2 hours. I wish it was longer. That is too short in my opinion.

I work with a well developed choir and in order to get your choir better it will take 30 minutes to warm up. i dont care how good they are, breathing skills and range can always be increased. My choir rehearsals last anywhere between 2 to 3 hours. its not that my choir is not capable of finishing in a shorter time but i am a perfectionist and things shall be done in decency and in order so we stay until it is done right. No point in singing learning a song and mess it up sunday because no accuracy was taught in the rehearsal... WE stay long as it takes because we want to be the best we can be. NOT for show but for the kingdom. No point in letting your gift go to waste if you can perfect it.
We start on time
Praise and worship for about 15 min
Warm up lasts 30min
Learning a song is atleast 30to 45 min (we learn atleast two songs)
Run thru all songs and dismiss.
Now it seemed unnececsarry to me when i started but in order fo r a song to be sung well it should be taught well. no matter how easy or hard the song is. Every accented note, pronounciation of words, intervals, etc should be taught accurately in order to get your choir to a great perfection.
