Helpful Hints for Cantors

- Please contact me for a rehearsal time (If you are singing the psalm for a feast day, we should rehearse a few days beforehand)

- Be sure to vocalize before singing at Mass; the voice needs "wakeup and warmup" time

-  "oo" is always a good warmup vowel.  Begin in the middle register, and work with descending passages.    Move up by half step with the patterns.

                5 - 3 - 1     "oo" or "ah"

                5 - 3 - 4 - 2 - 1

               5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

        1 - 8 -   5 - 3 - 1
