The next exercise is great for helping your guys find their way through transitions from register to register in descending exercises. Have all the female voices sing a light oo to begin, then have the male singers match it in quality and register (falsetto is fine)-encourage the basses that it is alright to get up there with everyone else. The first few times it may be helpful for the female voices to just sustain the first note throughout to give the guys a reference point. Having the voices go in opposite directions is good for working on intonation. Be sure the male voices stay in falsetto as long as possible on the way down and have them mix gradually toward a fuller voice, but stay light. It may take some time for them to get used to this, and you need to make sure they know it is just fine for the voice to crack. Move up and down in key only a few half steps. As the singers get more comfortable with this exercise the men can go down a full octave. Moving up a full octave scale is challenging for the women if the key is too high. The oo vowel should be changed to oh.

Descending exercises for vowel alignment Score Vowel alignment and matching are of utmost importance in building choral tone. When breathing, always make space for the tallest vowel, the make the other vowels revolve around that space, but be sure to keep the sound forward in the mouth so the tone is not [Composer] covered. These descending exercises are excellent for teaching the connection from vowel to vowel.

Stay in a narrow range--the choir is not warmed up just yet. Make certain that the singers start lightly on the bottom end of the exercise. Score If they are too heavy, they will not be able to shift registers with agility and in tune. Have them shape the exercise with a slight crescendo as it ascends, and be sure the decrescendo on the way back down. Breath for ah, but sing ee--bring the sound [Composer] forward! Use hand motions to help.
