The most difficult aspect of teaching singing in any instrumental classroom is getting to the point where the students are bought into the concept. In this session we will discuss strategies for not only getting students to sing, but arriving at a point where students feel confident singing. Once students reach this point, we as teachers can utilize singing to improve instrumental tone, balance, blend, matching styles, and articulation—all in a highly effective and efficient manner. This session will detail methods that will help your students feel more comfortable singing. With the content presented here, these tactics will scaffold upward to help your students feel more comfortable singing their band or orchestra music.
