Episode 213: A Back to School Focus From the Convention Floor
Manage episode 437061974 series 2507740
It’s Labor Day weekend. We are almost all back to school. This is the time that makes or breaks your whole school year. This summer I got a booth at the Missouri Choral Directors conference and pulled colleagues in to share their thoughts.
- Why are adolescent boys so turned off by choir?
- How important is music reading for All State choir?
- Should majority white choirs sing Gospel and Spirituals?
- Should sacred music be programmed in public schools?
- What are the biggest problems in music education?
- How should we be using technology tools to bring our teaching practice up to speed for the 21st century?
I sat down at the booth, and invited passersby to join me to weigh in on these questions. I ended up with a TREASURE trove of wisdom, ideas and helpful discussion to get teachers calibrated and focused! Special thanks to Carla Oliver, Stephen Rew, Chandler Cooper, Paige Wakefield, Rebecca Winn, Christine Jarquio, Brian Von Glahn, Courtney Williams, Lauren Tosh, Chris Boemler and Max Jackson.
I also asked them some questions about their earliest music class memories, but that’s for a future special project where I compare music teacher answers to “normal people” answers. Stay tuned!
Tune in, and have your thinking stimulated and challenged. Then, weigh in yourself with your own answers to the questions posed here on Facebook in the Choralosophers group or over on choralosophy.substack.com
