TikTok and Choir: An Unexpected Pairing

Colleen McNickle
Arkansas State University

Session Abstract: This interactive session will explore the unexpected and beneficial pairing of choir and the social media app TikTok. By utilizing TikTok as a teaching, learning, recruitment, coping, and advertising tool, choir directors have the opportunity to connect to students and communities and eliminate barriers to music learning and making in an innovative way. Participants will leave the session with practical teaching resources, TikTok how-to’s, and an understanding of the many benefits of utilizing social media. They will be empowered to claim their space on the social media app and to utilize its many videos and teaching tools with their ensembles.
