Vocal technique should be developed with a view to empowering singers to render a musical and expressive performance of the choral material being studied. Develop an exemplary vocal tone. Work toward technical accuracy and fluency. In addition, procedures and routines for efficient individual practice should be emphasized. Work toward singing in tune.
Good intonation is dependent on the singer's level of aural perception.
The noted Hungarian musician, composer and educator Zoltan Kodaly has asserted that the practice of relying on the piano to alleviate faulty intonation is specious. To aid aural development, students should spend as much time as possible singing in two or more parts a cappella. As well, activities should promote critical thinking and problem solving in order to correct discrepancies in tuning. Apply technical abilities as a means to musical expression. This objective represents a synthesis of the previous three foundational objectives.
