Rehearse your
Harmonies
Below are playlists for our Christmas songs. Pick your section, press play and you can just leave it running, like listening to a CD. Put it on in the background whilst doing other things, or try singing along. Once you're really confident with your harmony, see if you can sing it with the FULL CHOIR playlist underneath.
