Inside the Elementary School Chorus

Designed specifically for the music educator working with non-auditioned children's choruses, this book addresses everything from recruiting to getting kids excited about singing, from warm-ups to programming, and from working with parents to budgets. In addition to helpful how-tos, this outstanding resource illustrates how children's choirs can become environments where participants learn a strong sense of community alongside high levels of musicianship. As an added feature, the book includes a DVD that provides sight and sound to the strategies shared in narrative. Organized to follow the book, its sections include the general music classroom as a venue for school elementary chorus and Performances - before, during and after.
