As a former vocal singer under Dr Max Ferdinand, I am honoured to have gotten a lot of his life skills long before he attained international recognition. It was always in his bloodstream. Forever (Young 6).
Thankyou for taking us into the engine room. The chemistry between the singers and Mr Ferdinand is something else. Praise be to God. Biggest fan from PNG 🇵🇬❤🙏
Wow! I'm embarrassed I've never heard of you until Jacob Collier's just released RUclips. I love the hymns, the mix, this rehearsal. Wow - the Aeolians!! Beautiful!! I'm a new life fan! Wow! As said below "the excellence and magnificence of Our Lord" definitely flows - amazing! THANK YOU for sharing!
Soooo much to take away from this peek inside your rehearsal time - thank you very much for sharing! I will be implementing these this week with my singers at Texas Southern University!:)
@Kimberly Keaton. Babygirl you’re not reaching, I think it’s beautiful that you’re asking for help. That is what life’s all about. It shows that you have the most beautiful heart to treat these young minds that are tomorrows leaders.
He inspires me to be a choral conductor again! I love that he trains his choir to hear pitch without needing reference. I used to do that with my choirs. I am totally geeked right now! GEEEEEKED!!!!
Incredible choir and conductor.🎵Had the privilege of singing precious lord with the choir. Was a special experience. Hope to sing and be conducted by a conductor of this calibre and spirit one day.
Grateful to observe you and the choir in rehearsals You have such a wonderful gift of musical interpretation and set the standard for us! Thanks for your creativity and authentic approach to choral sound, adding so much beauty to the choral tradition. And congrats on a fabulous season.
This is wonderfully eargasmic to this day. What a satisfaction I am still getting from following the simple technics of vocal training and execution of crescendos. Ferd, you're truly blessed and may many more blessings follow you.
Kind of freaked out when they started singing Oh Perfect Love! It was part of our TMEA State repertoire and is so dear to me. Big fan of Dr. Ferdinand 🤩😌
When you’re still in human form imagining what angels in heaven sound like and this....THIS!!! Hallelujah!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!! Yes Lord!!!!!! Save a seat for me daddy and momma that day when my time is near and over this is what I know it will feel like!!! Thank you momma for teaching me how to pray!!!😢♥️at the age of five and handing me over to my Lord for ME to establish a relationship with our Holy Father God All Mighty!!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
19:06 through 20:40 is some of the best choral direction, asking the singers what they think, no qualitative critique, building those sections to show their role.. Truly inspiring
Your work is so heart felt and beautiful. Kudos to your responsive and well taught choir members! I hope I get the opportunity to hear you all in person.
Blessed rehearsal. I diriged such song in 1986 at Presbiterian Church of Colatina Espirit Saunt State Brazil as Holy Night and others santifying hymbs. PASTOR JBALMEIDA BRAZIL. Suc arrangement is as Tibiruça from Brazililian Orchestra and Bacchrelli Cour. São Paulo Brazil.
God has a plan for your life. Keep praying and believing. God is able to do abundantly what we ask. Ephesians 3:20 it is possible. My son went to Oakwood University and graduated May 2016.
Yes Starchild your already a star! God's plan for is best, I thank Him already for whatever He brings your way. Stay steadfast in Him and keep singing! Love, your big sister in Christ.
2019- 05-10, the Netherlands. To mr. J.M. Ferdinand, (Knowing that God is always in control and ALL Glory goes to Him - I feel incredibly humbled.) 💐 Thank you SO much, sir, for your or someones consideration in Christ to mail me this "post". I don't know the background out of wich I deserved this, but I am utmost gratefull. I just would like you to know that. Thank you, again, sir. Sincere regards in Christ Jesus Our Lord, in His service ✝️🌹, A. DEE WAI.
Man, I stumbled across this. I'm not a music major or music theorist but this is breathtaking. I could just sit in rehearsal and be in my own paradise lol! wow!
Soooo true! I’m trained in low brass but was hired as a choral director next year because I sing and play piano and have a teaching license. Been doing my homework to make sure my skills are strong enough to support the program next year and this is invaluable learning material.
The ' Crescendo' part of Haleluiah are in socket attaking production and the ' tessiture' in Negro Spiritual 'andante' and ' largo' very amazing, I used do that at Trentin Coir of Italians (Colatina city) at " Va Pensero" operistic chanting and vocalizes too. Pastor JBAlmeida.
It would be a pleasure to sit in that room
Or to sing in that choir!
You knoooooow
This is a vocalist's eargasm. I love this group. This Morehouse Man loves the Aeolians! #HBCUpride #HBCUunity
exactly
00:12 He just asked for an 'A' natural with no reference whatsoever, and everybody just said 'ok, simple enough'
Their pitch is "Spot On." No lead note from the piano needed.
That is so amazing. Being in a choir, that just doesn't happen!
Dope!
It’s something we practice everyday, so eventually you get the ear for it.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm gonna be watching this over and over again studying your technique.
That dynamics exercise is brilliant. You better believe my chamber choir will be trying it this coming Monday.
Yes! Loved that!
funny. my chamber choir conductor started doing that exercise about a year ago; we rehearsed on mondays..
Jason man, I truly miss sitting in that room with you all and just watching the excellence and magnificence of Our Lord flow through your talent.
such a powerful sound, yet so crisp, sharp and clean at times it could cut glass. well done choir!
So beautiful. I have been listening to this all day.

I AGREEEE!
I've watched this over 100 times and am still learning. Thank you so much, Dr. Ferdinand.
This man is brilliant!
I know I’m reaching, but I teach middle school and I use you guys to inspire them.
@Kimberly Keaton. Babygirl you’re not reaching, I think it’s beautiful that you’re asking for help. That is what life’s all about. It shows that you have the most beautiful heart to treat these young minds that are tomorrows leaders.
Perfect music unto a perfect God. May God continue using you.
Continue learning,
music reaches a place where sermons don’t.

This is an awesome rehearsal. It shows that good prep work and a good director, a beautiful sound can be made
Великолепно!
Thank you for sharing this. It is really incredible. Wish we would have had that workshop when you were in South Africa. Really incredible.
