MYM Choir: Vocal Timbre (Colour)

How could it be more internationally minded?

In traditional choir classes, there is an optimal vocal timbre that the group works towards achieving.  To contextualize, explore, and expand this concept, choir classes could consider, research and experiment with different timbrel vocal qualities. To do this you could expose the class to music from around the world with varying vocal timbres including but not exclusive to: vocal jazz, European opera, Chinese opera, Inuit throat singing, country, bluegrass, Gregorian chant, and timbre layering in west African vocal music.
