3 MRS. MEGAN PERDUE, PRESENTER DIRECTOR OF CHORAL STUDIES, LAKE OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL OREGON STATE REPRESENTATIVE, A CAPPELLA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION (AEA) BOARD MEMBER, WOMEN S A CAPPELLA ASSOCIATION (WACA)
4 WANT TO START A CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA GROUP? THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU! WANT TO INTEGRATE CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA INTO YOUR CHORAL GROUP? THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU! WANT TO LEARN SOME BEATBOX SOUNDS AND SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT? YES, THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU, TOO!
5 MEGAN PERDUE ACCESS THIS PRESENTATION ONLINE AT WORDPRESS.COM
6 WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA? The creation of a vocal band Voicing - male, female, or mixed Size Anything that works for you! Usually 5-16 singers, can be more In smaller groups, usually one singer per part/microphone Larger groups can use zone/solo microphone combinations or no amplification
7 CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA IN THE CHORAL CURRICULUM WHY CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA? Contemporary a cappella is having a moment (just ask Siri). Make connections with students through music that is relevant to them.
8 IT DISSECTS POPULAR SONGS IN A WAY THAT YOU CAN T BY LISTENING TO THE RADIO IN YOUR CAR; YOU UNDERSTAND IT. C.J.
9 IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE REAL. SINGING MAKES ME ADOPT THE EMOTIONS OF THE PIECE AND THOSE EMOTIONS FEEL MORE AUTHENTIC THAN DAY-TO-DAY-EMOTIONS. Devon
10 SINGING CONTEMPORARY A CAPPELLA MUSIC PROVIDES A MORE RELATABLE EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENTS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST WORRIES OF BEING IN CHOIR IS THAT THEY WON T SING MUSIC THAT STUDENTS KNOW. BY SINGING CONTEMPORARY MUSIC, YOU ELIMINATE THAT WORRY! Anonymous
11 IT CHALLENGES ME TO LEARN MORE DIFFICULT LINES AND TRAIN MY EAR TO LISTEN FOR BLEND AND DIFFERENT HARMONIES. Hayley
12 IT OPENS MY EYES TO THE COMPLEXITY OF MUSIC. Anonymous
13 IT TEACHES FOCUS, RHYTHM, PITCH, PRECISION, IMPROVISATION, TEAMWORK EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE SHARP AND EXACT SO IT FORCES PEOPLE NOT TO LOSE FOCUS. AND IT TEACHES LEADERSHIP BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE A LEADER, AND IT S EASY TO TELL IF SOMEONE IS JUST FOLLOWING. Rachel
14 IT S JUST MORE COOL AND FUN TO SING SONGS THAT PEOPLE KNOW AND CAN UNDERSTAND AS OPPOSED TO SINGING SOME RANDOM CENTURIES-OLD SONG. THEY RE BOTH EQUALLY CHALLENGING THOUGH Max
15 REPERTOIRE, ARRANGING, AND IMPROVISATION Off-the-rack arrangements Alfred, Hal Leonard Custom Arrangements Self-arranged/Group-arranged
16 ARRANGING YOUR OWN MUSIC Use your resources: ask your students! Usually solo is not notated Start by knowing the song very well; listen a lot! Consider recording your ideas first, then notating them Bass line should avoid vowels unless joining a homophonic Ah, Oh, or other word Syllables should only be a suggestion Let background parts use words when possible; basses, too! A Cappella Arranging by Dylan Bell and Deke Sharon - GREAT guide to DIY arranging

BUH - TS - PF - TS
23 LESSON APPLICATION: BILLIE JEAN Objective: Students will perform an a cappella arrangement of the chorus to Michael Jackson s Billie Jean in four parts with optional vocal percussion. They will arrange each part by listening to the original track with teacher assistance, if necessary. Vocabulary: a cappella, beat box, bass line, electric guitar, lead vocal, onomatopoeia National Standards: CREATING, Anchor Standards 1, 2, & 3; PERFORMING, Anchor Standards 4 & 5 1. Play recording of chorus of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. Students listen critically to the form and texture of the segment, analyzing number of parts and instrument sounds. 2. Ensemble arranges bass line and discusses onomatopoeia for bass guitar sound. 3. Ensemble arranges soprano line and discusses onomatopoeia for electric guitar and synthesizer sounds. 4. Ensemble arranges alto line from soprano line, at the interval of a fourth below the soprano line. Soprano and altos sing parts together. 5. Ensemble sings lead vocal; tenors sing lead vocal. 6. Ensemble performs 4-part arrangement.
24 LESSON APPLICATION: BILLIE JEAN EXTENSIONS Ensemble arranges vocal percussion part. Ensemble performs chorus to Billie Jean in four parts with vocal percussion. Ensemble creates choreography to accompany chorus to Billie Jean. Ensemble or small group arranges whole song for performance
25 THE RHYTHM SECTION Basic vocal percussion sounds: Kick - beginning of a measure; Buh Snare - Pf ( Pst ) or Kih Hi-Hat - Ts, stop air with tongue for closed or let it flow for open Bass Technique: Dm = the magical syllable Minimize vowels, but do let basses sing on ah or oh pads and on text, if appropriate for the arrangement
26 RHYTHM READING Many pop music examples are rhythmically complex and present excellent opportunities to study syncopation through simple meters. Integrate rhythm reading and beatboxing for an energetic lessons on note reading and multiple parts. LESSON APPLICATIONS: Syncopation Beatbox Rhythms
27 IT S IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT RELATES TECHNIQUES AND SKILLS THAT WE LEARN IN CHOIR TO OUR EVERY DAY LIVES AND THE MUSIC WE LIVE OUR LIVES TO. SaraJane
28 LESSON APPLICATION: SYNCOPATION
29 LESSON APPLICATION: SYNCOPATION
30 LESSON APPLICATION: SYNCOPATION
31 LESSON APPLICATION: SYNCOPATION
32 LESSON APPLICATION: BEATBOX RHYTHMS National Standard: PERFORMING, Anchor Standard 4 Student Population: elementary, middle, high Objective: Students will accurately perform the rhythmic line on both rhythm syllables (ta, ti-ti) and beatbox syllables.
33 LESSON APPLICATION: BEATBOX RHYTHMS EXTENSIONS: 1. Use various note values. 2. Assign different note values to different drum kit sounds. Ex: Quarter notes = bass, Eighth notes = snare, Quarter rests = hi-hat 3. Split into sections or small groups. Some sing warm-ups or scales while the others beatbox. Switch parts. 4. Perform with recordings
34 SIGHT-SINGING Because most pop music is diatonic, contemporary a cappella presents an accessible opportunity to study solfegge syllables LESSON APPLICATIONS: Name That Tune! (National Standard: PERFORMING, Anchor Standard #4) Trash-ketball (National Standard: PERFORMING, Anchor Standard #4)
35 LESSON APPLICATIONS: NAME THAT TUNE! 1. Speak on rhythm syllables 2. Sing on solfegge syllables 3. Speed up, if necessary and Name that tune!

37 LESSON APPLICATIONS: TRASH-KETBALL 1. Get recycling can/crumpled paper, split into teams 2. Speak on rhythm syllables 3. Establish key and audiate on solfegge syllables 4. Shoot that trash (or recycling)! 1 pt. for correct song, 1 shot for group solfegge performance, 3 shots for solo solfegge performance
38 LESSON APPLICATIONS: TRASH-KETBALL Cups from Pitch Perfect, performed by Anna Kendrick
39 IT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THOSE NOT IN CHOIR TO APPRECIATE AND ENJOY THE PERFORMANCES MORE. Charis
40 VISUAL TIPS Contemporary a cappella is NOT show choir Focus is on the singing, not the movement Effective movement highlights musical moments Bell tones Strong downbeats Beginning of chorus Consider who needs to see/hear whom Bass and vocal percussion Soloist Doubled parts
41 NEXT STEPS Recording contemporary a cappella A cappella and music technology (there s an app for that) Microphone technique and mixing for live performance Vocal pedagogy and contemporary music Connections between contemporary a cappella and multicultural a cappella and Renaissance a cappella Competitions and festivals ICHSA, Rose City Sing Off, SheSings, National A Cappella Convention, LAAF, BOSS, A Cappella Academy
