Starting a new choir year can feel overwhelming — so many voices to balance, names to learn, and routines to establish. The key to long-term success is setting strong foundations right from the beginning. That’s why I created the Choir Assignments Bundle: Building Your Ensemble — three ready-to-use assignments designed to help you build community, develop musicianship, and keep every singer engaged.
- Choral Warm-Up Assignment
Warm-ups are more than vocal stretches — they teach singers about breath, resonance, blend, and listening. This assignment asks students to reflect on the why of warm-ups while demonstrating their technique. It’s a powerful way to set high expectations for healthy singing from day one.
- Compose a Solfège Canon
Want to combine music theory, creativity, and performance in one assignment? With this project, students compose their own canon using solfège syllables. Not only does this reinforce literacy skills, but it also creates new warm-ups your choir can actually sing together. Students love hearing their work come to life!
- Ensemble Identity Statement
Choirs thrive when singers feel like they belong. This collaborative activity guides students in reflecting on what makes your ensemble unique and writing a unifying statement. It’s perfect for establishing rehearsal expectations and creating a sense of ownership and pride in your choir.
Why Bundle These Together?
Each of these assignments is strong on its own — but together, they create a balanced approach to technique, creativity, and community. With the bundle, you’ll save prep time and give your choir exactly what they need to start the year successfully.
