How to Make a Strong Case for the Value of Choral Music Education

Singing in choir helps students succeed, but school choral programs are under siege.

Forming an Unaccompanied SATB Hospice Singing Group

It introduces a fresh approach for engaging in critical listening skills of choral singing, and explores the development of quality choral performance stemming from rigorous and comprehensive rehearsals.
