I brought this question up before as one of the fundamental problems of working with, and being a part of, a choral Ensemble. After all, no one really wants to listen to an out-of-tune choir.   It’s a complicated issue that involves...

Have you ever had to pause in the middle of a rehearsal because one of your Singers is out of tune?   Do you get frustrated when, no matter how many times you practice blending exercises and focus on listening to one another, there is still a voice...
