Zoom Rehearsal Tips

Rafi Hasib

Things you’re probably already doing● Start with physical & vocal warm-ups - Tip: Mute everyone but the speaker

● Presentations & guest speakers - BHS chapter visits, C&J community, “celebrities”

● Singing along with videos or learning tracks - Runs & workshopping chunks of music

● Breakout rooms for sectionals - Tip: Rename with your voice part (e.g. “Bari - Rafi Hasib”)

● Private Vocal Instruction (PVIs) - Coaching with/without an audience


● Keep them comfortable

● Keep them engaged

● Keep them singing

What are we trying

to do?

Flow

Variety

Practice


Flow● Divide & conquer - get others involved, share the responsibility

○ “Voice” runs the show & carries the room - drives, vamps, demonstrates○ “Tech” behind the scenes - preloads content, shares computer media○ “Mod” supports - monitors the chat, keeps things moving, interacts with Voice

● Set the stage before rehearsal - pre-meeting, background music, greetings

● Introductory slides to frame the session - gives context/purpose, shows you care, adds fun


Variety● Keep things short - avoid fatigue

○ Rehearsals up to 2 hours○ Rehearsal blocks 10 to 20 minutes○ Try not to talk for 2 minutes straight

● Zoom features - recording, polls, whiteboard

● Learn more about your membership ○ Member spotlights or “hot seat”○ Bite-sized personal interest talks○ “Whines and wins” at the end

● Discussions - together or in breakout rooms○ Ice breakers (e.g. “how did you

incorporate music this week?”)○ Discuss performances or plans,

share experiences, “You Be The Judge”


Practice● Ear training & skillbuilding

○ Harmonize with the presenter○ Point up/down (yes/no) for high/lower

● Audio/visual videos streamed live○ Director conducting + singing the melody○ Choreo/visual plan

● Teach music/tags & sing along○ Demonstrate & display music○ Sing along with a track/video

● Repertoire runs○ Spotlight instead of gallery view○ Mix full runs with workshopping


Final Thoughts ● Support and appreciate your leaders. Ask them how you can help.

○ We’re all in this together, but they don’t have their usual feedback loop.

● Get the most out of rehearsal by focusing fully on rehearsal.○ Maximize Zoom. Don’t slouch. Avoid multitasking. Resist checking out.

● We can still use this time to grow as singers and friends.○ Let’s emerge stronger than before.
