Okay as promised i'm gonna upload some videos for you over the course of the season. This is not school don't worry so just enjoy them and if you feel like do leave a comment or two.

I'll start the ball rolling for a couple of weeks or so and after that hopefully we can rotate so everyone can contribute something cool and there'll be a lot of diversity there.

So this week i thought i'd introduce to you my favourite choral group and if they ever came to Singapore i'd cue overnight for tickets. The King's Singers started in the '60s and have undegone many changes in personnel without ever affecting the sound and the chosen 6 always put up a good show. Important to note the way they sing. It isn't just a great sound that's coming out of their mouths but the way their ENTIRE BODY is singing from face to feet. They sing an extremely diverse range of songs so do explore more if you like their music and i'm sure you will.

Their philosophy has always been to have songs that will please audiences and also songs that will educate audiences so i've chosen two very different pieces for you this week. The first is something you might have done before, "Short People" and the second is "Si Ch'io Vorrei Morire". Their done 26 years apart by two generations of King's Singers. And the third video is a very helpful and entertaining one about singing! Hope you enjoy them!
