Jenni asked:

>SO -- any suggesstions on stuff to cover?

Intonation: singing chords as scales (e.g., basses on the root,
tenors on the fifth, altos on the third, and sopranos on the seventh)

Purity of vowels: singing vowels subject to constraints (e.g., moving
lips with fingers, or keeping the teeth gently closed)

Dynamics: singing scales with crescendo (diminuendo) as pitch
increases (decreases). Reversing the previous relationship. Two
sections doing one relationship while the other two do the opposite
(to create a cross-fade).

Have fun!
