Learn to sing. The project “Moscow longevity” is recruiting to the Russian folk choir “Razdolie”
Since the beginning of April, in the Moscow Longevity project, folk vocal classes have resumed from the Solntsevo branch of the Novo-Peredelkino TCSO in the west of the capital.
HOW THE LESSONS GO
Russian folk choir “Razdolie” was created before the pandemic in October 2019. The participants even managed to perform several times, one of which was at the anniversary concert of the leading creative team of the city of Moscow, the choir of the Russian song “Moscow side” from the Solntsevo district. The team was praised from the observation.
– We place all songs on three voices, if there are water men in our ranks, to add 2 more male voices, – moderator choir leader, teacher of the Moscow Longevity project Vladimir Davydov. – We begin to learn the simplest songs, such as “Oh, a garden in the yard”, “Walks along the Don”, “Ivushka”, a comic folklore composition “You are my dandelion, dandelion”.
The teacher says that most of his students are beginners in vocals, they are just learning to sing and have not studied before.
Each lesson begins with chants, then the participants practice tongue twisters, and then move on to practicing the part of each voice from the polyphony. Vladimir Mikhailovich demanded more time for lessons: for such a period, 2-2.5 hours are required, it will not be possible to master everything in an hour.
