Chris started a blog in December 2006 called From the Front of the Choir which can be found at blog.chrisrowbury.com

Thoughts and views from a freelance community choir leader in the UK updated every Sunday. Not your typical choirs mind, but those run on "Natural Voice" principles and encompassing unaccompanied harmony songs from across the globe. Also, the emphasis is on FUN rather than standing in rows and enunciating perfectly!

Recently Chris has written a series of six posts on Getting the best out of your choir, and before that a short series on Preparing to sing, looking at warm ups for choirs. An earlier series of 10 posts was on How to start your own community choir. The first post in the series has links to all the others.
