Description
What if your choir program felt more connected, collaborative, and student-driven — without sacrificing musical excellence?
If you’re ready to transform your ensemble culture from the inside out, I invite you to join me for my workshop:
Building Your Choir Culture: Fostering Community, Collaboration, Leadership, and Accountability in Your Choir Program!
Here’s what we will cover in this LIVE, week-long workshop (45-60 minutes each day):
Day 1: Casting a Vision for Your Ideal Choral Culture
Define the kind of community you want to build and how your values shape rehearsal habits, expectations, and student buy-in.
Day 2: Building Belonging – Activities and Rehearsal Strategies to Strengthen Community
Walk away with dozens of rehearsal-friendly connection strategies that build trust and inclusion — right from the podium.
Day 3: The Collaborative Rehearsal – Strategies That Put Students in the Driver’s Seat
Shift from teacher-directed to ensemble-driven rehearsal through structured partner work, small group tasks, and shared musical decision-making.
Day 4: Equipping Student Leaders – Tools and Roles That Empower Positive Leadership
Learn how to structure and support meaningful student leadership roles, from section leaders to student-led routines.
Day 5: Choir is EPIC – Emphasizing That Every Person Impacts Choir
Develop rituals and strategies that help your students understand: choir is a team — and every voice matters.
If you miss a live session, no worries–video replay links will be provided for each session, so that you can watch the videos whenever it fits in your schedule!!
*Choir directors that complete the Workshop are eligible to receive a certificate for completed Contact Hours to submit to your school district. Please check with your district to confirm that they will approve your Workshop attendance for Contact Hours.
I think you’ll get tons of value out of this workshop series, just like Gary did! Here’s what he had to say, after attending the Workshop:
Thanks again for a very valuable series of presentations. I got a lot of good ideas and thought about several things in a different way. This would have been a very valuable resource when I was teaching Choral Methods at the collegiate level. Thanks for sharing your ideas and your resources!
