Stick Time: Multi-Generational Choir

October 4, 2011 by Scott Dorsey Leave a Comment


Because most of us conduct in educational institutions, we tend to work with choirs whose members fall within a fairly tightly defined age range.  Some, though, have multi-generational choirs, such as today’s example.  Listen to the rich sound they are able to produce with such a broad spectrum of ages in this choir.  It seems reasonable to suspect that the members of the ensemble bring out the best in one another vocally. Point to ponder: What challenges are faced by a young singer that could be helped by singing next to a more experienced one, and vise versa?

    I love hearing this type of choir!  I teach 8th grade choir and direct a multi-generational 6th grade to age 82 community choir.  It is so wonderful to have the older singers assisting the younger and vice versa!!  It has enriched my teaching and my teaching helps my directing the community choir!  Truly wonderful experience!  Thanks for sharing!
