Choral Pedagogy: Developing Musicians, Cultivating Lifelong Engagement (October 8–11, 2026)

with JABARIE GLASS

The lasting impact of a choral program is measured by the musicians it develops. This workshop explores practical approaches to teaching that place singer development at the center of every instructional decision, equipping students to contribute meaningfully to their ensembles today while fostering the knowledge, skills, and passion needed to remain active choral singers throughout their lives. Through interactive activities, collaborative discussion, and reading sessions, participants will examine the interplay of music literacy, vocal development, repertoire selection, rehearsal design, and culture building in developing independent, lifelong choral musicians.

Whether you are a preservice teacher, a practicing choral educator, or a teacher educator, this workshop offers practical ideas, thoughtful discussion, and immediately applicable teaching strategies for a variety of choral settings.

No studio fee

Audio Storytelling (October 8–11, 2026)

with SUZI POND

This workshop introduces teachers and adult educators to audio storytelling so they can bring it back to their own classrooms. Participants will learn audio interviewing techniques, narrative editing, and scoring with music. For recording, we'll work with a spectrum of gear — from the smartphones people already carry to dedicated field recorders like Zoom units paired with external microphones — keeping capture both accessible and professional. Editing and scoring happen on Mac workstations using Hindenburg and Descript. We demystify the gear and model the whole process from interview to final edit, so participants feel comfortable at every stage. Working both independently and collaboratively, they'll produce a finished piece that draws together the full range of skills covered.

All skill levels welcome.

Studio fee: $30
