Discussion
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a virtual choir
The Internet is so developed that it makes virtual life no different from reality.
People from every corner of the world can upload their videos onto the Internet, which is like a wonderful stage where people come together to sing.
Different people sing together and share similar interests and values, which makes them feel like a family.
In the global community, people can exchange feelings and thoughts with each other like real life ommunication.
Advantages
Discussion
A virtual choir concert can’t have real actor-audience interaction, which will lead to the lack of audience involvement.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a member of a virtual choir
A virtual choir cannot have people together on stage where people can communicate in person.
A virtual choir relies too much on the use of technology.
A virtual choir is somewhat unreal because it is just something made up.
Virtual is virtual, which can never be real in any way.
disadvantages
1. Music is a universal language!
——Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
2. Without music, life is a journey through a desert.

hundreds of other people while you are home alone. You can do this in a virtual choir. Virtual choir members record themselves while they perform alone on video. These videos are uploaded onto the Internet, and then they are put together into one video (that you can see online---a virtual choir). Anyone can take part in a virtual choir from anywhere---all you need is a video camera and an Internet connection. You do not even need a studio. A virtual choir helps connect ordinary people together. Many people do not have close friends or contacts who have the same interest in music. Many others do not have the chance to join a local choir.
A virtual choir enables them to add their voices to those

lives of many people. As one virtual choir member said,
正如 As he put it, (正如他所说)
“Music helps me to ... forget my problems. With music, I become someone else.”
The virtual choir was the idea of award-winning composer and conductor Eric Whitacre. Born in the USA on 2 January 1970, Whitacre began studying music at the University of Nevada in 1988. He fell in love with Mozart’s classical music when he sang for the university choir. Moved by this music, he said, “It was like seeing color for the first time.” He graduated from university in1995, and then received a master’s degree in musical composition from
a degree in literature/economics
the Juilliard School in New York in 1997. Over the next 10 years, Whitacre’s original compositions began to become quite popular among/with choirs and singers. This led to the creation of the virtual choir.

In 2009, Whitacre received a video of a girl who was singing one of his works. Inspired, he asked his fans to make videos, which he then joined together into one
he joined videos together into one performance
performance. His first virtual choir, “Lux Aurumque”, had 185 singers from 12 different countries. It has received millions of views on the Internet. Since then, the virtual choir has become a worldwide phenomenon. Whitacre's next
effort was the Virtual Youth Choir for UNICEF, which was first seen on stage on 23 July 2014 in the UK. Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song, “What If”.
The virtual choir is a wonderful way for people around the world to sing with one voice and thus make the world a better place.
