  • Making an a Cappella Medley – for Christmas Or Any Other Time of the Year
    KSKS35 Making an a cappella medley – for Christmas or any other time of the year Jane Werry is a by Jane Werry specialist leader in education, and director of music at Hayes School in Bromley. She is an A level moderator for INTRODUCTION OCR, and a regular contributor to Music With the immense popularity of Pitch Perfect, preceded by Glee, and backed up by Gareth Malone’s TV Teacher online programmes including the recent Naked Choir, there has never been a more conducive time for getting resources. students to sing a cappella. There are lots of great things about this idea. It will take some work to get a cappella sounding good, and along the way students will need to think about tuning, timing, communication and their own vocal range. The modern a cappella tradition is all about devising arrangements, so harmonies and textures will need to be considered and used in a creative way. The development of listening skills is fundamental to any foray into a cappella. It needs a minimum of resources. You can branch out into choreography and exciting techniques such as beatboxing and throat bass. In fact there’s almost nothing not to like. It does, however, need to be tackled in a systematic way to anticipate some of the pitfalls and head them off at the first opportunity. To do a cappella well is difficult and requires perseverance. This resource uses some Christmas songs as a starting point for a cappella. However, everything covered here could be used equally as effectively with other songs, and I will give non-Christmas starting-points too, for use at any time of the year.

Persönliche Motivation Seit meiner Kindheit singe ich in Formationen, die Pop- und Jazzmusik „a cappella“ präsentieren. Bereits während meiner Schulzeit am BORG Bad Radkersburg erhielt ich einen Einblick in die Welt der A-Cappella-Musik in großen (Chor) wie auch kleinen Formationen (z. B. Männerquartett). Durch die Mitgliedschaft im Pop-Chor Popvox unter der Leitung von Mani Mauser hat sich diese Faszination gefestigt und weiterentwickelt. Hier machte ich erste Erfahrungen im Arrangieren für A-cappella-Ensembles, indem ich zu Beginn vor allem Transkriptionen bestehender Arrangements von etablierten Gruppen, wie Take 6, Real Group, Vox One und Bauchklang, aber auch von YouTube-Musikern, die im Overdubbing-Verfahren1 A-Cappella-Arrangements kreieren, und von damals aufstrebenden Vokalgruppen wie Pentatonix und Home Free anfertigte. Im Laufe meines Lehramtsstudiums Musikerziehung schrieb ich zahlreiche A-Cappella-Arrangements für diverse Gruppen innerhalb und außerhalb der Universität, erforschte im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit dieses Gebiet und konnte Erkenntnisse daraus in meine Arbeit als Arrangeur einfließen lassen. In meiner Tätigkeit als Universitätsassistent am Institut 5 (Musikpädagogik) der KUG konzipierte ich zusammen mit dem IMPG-Team den 14.
