The UNH Choirs Master Teacher Series is designed exclusively for choral music educators of all levels. Its goal is to provide a continuing education opportunity for all music educators by connecting them with renowned choral musicians. This workshop will include sessions on rehearsal strategies and conducting gesture; understanding the historical, educational and pedagogical facets to conducting the African-American Spiritual; accessible choral repertoire for all age levels from a wide array of composers; and a conducting masterclass. Participants will receive a reading packet of octavos appropriate for all levels, and lunch is also included.
Upon completion of the program, participants will be able to:
- Be able to demonstrate effective teaching techniques and rehearsal strategies
- Have resources for programming, understanding and teaching the context of, and conducting African-American Spirituals
- Add to their toolbox of conducting gestures, and there is the opportunity to participate in a conducting masterclass
This program will be facilitated by renowned choral educator, Dr. André J. Thomas. Please visit the 'Instructor Bios' tab for additional information.
