Choir question
In choir, how does everyone arrange where their students sit? For me, I have all sopranos in one section, altos in another section, and so on. Has anyone tried mixing that up? Like putting them in quartets? I have a general music choir (non-auditioned, it's a mix of 9-12). I'm afraid to rock the boat a little because some of these kids are so timid. But I also think it would be a nice change. Anybody have any suggestions or similar stories?

Hey I have them in sections, but every day I make them mix up and sing songs as well. Best of both worlds, i duno just sharing
If you want to mix it up, I say go for it. The worst that cant happen is you will realize who doesnt know their parts. Since it is a mixed age, and mixed talets, trying having the students pair up with a buddy from their section, and THEN create octets with other sections. That way they are hearing the other parts, but also have some stability with their buddy. Hope it works!
