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 seven posts on: Songs and copyright, and a series of four posts on Finding an audience for your concerts. Before that, a series of of four posts on How to get more men singing, before that 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.
