One Accord: Developing Part-Singing Skills in School-Age Musicians
April 25, 2020
WEBINAR
9:30 am – 12:00 pm MDT
Join us as we welcome Dr. Georgia Newlin! This workshop examines the sequential development of part-singing skills in school-age musicians to help students acquire the ability to sustain a given voice part in a multi-part context. Purposefully identifying, naming, and teaching these techniques produces more singers able to fulfill their potential as self-sufficient musicians in a choral setting at any age level.
