Interest Session - Renaissance, Ballroom A Why am I Singing this Song? Choosing Repertoire for Developing Choristers - Marvin E. Latimer Jr., Clinician
In a recent interest session for choral educators, Rene Clausen, renowned choral conductor, composer, and pedagogue said, -You are the only voice teacher that most of your students will ever have.- Presumably, therefore, as with any voice teacher, one of the most important decisions choral educators make (on a fairly regular basis) involves the repertoire they ask their students to sing. However, because of numerous restrictions placed on choral educators, both in schools and outside of schools, often school choristers are presented with voice parts that they shouldn-t (or even can-t) sing. This session will explore a paradigm shift in the process of selecting appropriate repertoire for developing choristers that could more effectively address the demands we place on them as vocal athletes.
