Golden Rules for Leading Rounds Successfully
- Choose a song that is really well known.
- Keep out of it yourself if you can; it is ever so much easier to lead a round if you are not also trying to maintain a part.
- Sing the whole song through twice with everyone before dividing into parts.
- Know the four different entry points.
- Divide into two first, starting at the first and third entry points.
- Make sure everyone else knows the entry points, too.
- Sing the first part over and over, using eye-contact to bring in each group at their entries.
- Now you’re ready to divide into four. Make sure everyone knows the new entry points and lead in the same way as for rounds in two.
- Try some different songs. And once you know what you’re doing, you can be more ambitious. “Algie and the Bear” with actions, in four is fabulous fun!
