In All Things, Audiation!: Musicianship Development in Choral Classroom

Saturday, January 25, 2025
8:00 AM - 8:45 AM

Description
Indepenent musicianship is one key goal of music education. After our choral music students have graduated, will they be able to sing, play, think, and create on their own? To make sure the answer is "yes," we need to focus on developing students' audiation—and this session will help you think about making audiation the North Star of your choral classroom. From warm-ups to music literacy to repertoire selection to rehearsal technique, how do we help students not only sing and perform, but truly audiate? Attend this session for new ways to think about choral musicianship and new ideas to try in your classroom right away!
