The Power of words: Building Musicianship and Community (session 1) and Choral Placement: Discovering Comfort and Belonging (session 2)

This collaborative session will explore how our approach to the words on the page can affect the ensemble intonation, tone quality, and expressive musicianship. This session also will investigate how our spoken words in rehearsal can connect with our singers in positive ways and create an inclusive environment that heals rather than harms. Choral Placement is an interactive session that presents the factors to consider when placing voices wtihin each section of the choir, and the procedures that help you and your students discover where each singer can experience vocal comfort and a sense of belonging.
