Pop and gospel choir.
The pop and gospel choir at Music Campus Essen is the perfect place for everyone who loves singing together and wants to bring modern music to the stage with real energy. Instead of classic choral sound, the focus is on strong pop and gospel songs, rousing arrangements and a sound that inspires.
Songs with meaning that touch heart and soul, and a community that's fun: in the choir you work on vocal training, singing in harmony, rhythm and song interpretation, and you gain stage experience. We rehearse on Thursdays from 7 to 9 pm at Music Campus Essen, Heinrich-Held-Straße 16.
Find your
note.
Ear training for choir singers: a target note sounds and appears as a golden line in the field. Press into the field and drag the note up or down with your finger or mouse until it sits on the line. The display tells you whether you are too high or too low. This trains your ear to hit your note confidently, even when singing in harmony. Choose your voice type and the vowel.
How a choir rehearsal works.
Arrive and warm up
Loosen up, breathe, warm up: at the start of every rehearsal we get body and voice going. That way you sing healthily and with power.
Singing in harmony
You sing in your voice type and learn your part step by step. When the voices blend into harmony, you get the sound that gives you goosebumps.
Pop and gospel songs
Strong songs with meaning and rousing arrangements: we work on rhythm, expression and song interpretation until every song sits.
Community and stage
The choir is a community that's fun to be part of. Stage practice is part of it too, so you can sing the songs with energy in front of an audience.
