Wanneer ontvang ek die musiek?

Mid-April word ‘n skakel aan die deelnemers gestuur per WhatsApp.

Hierdie skakel is jou toegang tot die bladmusiek (pdf format) asook die oefensnitte (mp3 formaat).

When do I receive the music?

Mid-April, participants will receive a link per WhatsApp.

This link is your access to the sheet music (pdf format) as well as the rehearsal tracks (mp3 format).

Wanneer en waar leer ek die musiek?

Die professionele oefensnitte (mp3’s) wat deelnemers ontvang, vergemaklik die leerproses, veral omdat almal nie musiek kan lees nie.

Deelnemers luister dan na die oefensnitte en leer op hierdie manier die musiek van die ingeskrewe stemgroep aan die hand van die bladmusiek.

Deelnemers daag dan voorbereid op vir die eerste repetisie op Donderdag 5 Junie 2025.

When and how do I study the music?

Participants will receive professionally recorded rehearsal tracks (mp3’s) which are clear, easy to follow, and well detailed, because not everyone can read music.

Participants study the music of their particular voice group together with the sheet music. There will be individual voice tracks for your specific voice group – thus all Altos will receive an Alto rehearsal guide, and the same for the other voice parts.

Participants then come prepared for the first rehearsal on Thursday 5 June 2025.
