A technical book for choir singers, presented in an original and attractive dialogue format, by Norma Basso - in french. Here's a book on vocal technique, specially designed for choirs and vocal ensembles, that's really off the beaten path! It's interactive, entertaining and innovative in its very form; in a word, a living book. Interactive: many references to scores to see, inspiring interpretations to listen to... just flash the QR codes! To be read by several people: just as a chorister can't practise his passion alone, we invite you to read this book together: giggles guaranteed! To read while singing: follow the exercises step by step, following the advice given to the character who represents your section: Cécile, soprano; Margot, alto; Luc, tenor; Édouard, bass and Aurélien the conductor.
