Studying Choral Music and Musicians – a click away

I hope everyone that follows choral music is aware of the International Journal of Research in Choral Singing – an online resource that is edited by James Daugherty.

 

We are fortunate to have this journal and I’m glad that it is now officially associated with ACDA.  From the ACDA website:  “We are delighted that IJRCS has become a part of ACDA’s publishing outreach,” said Executive Director Tim Sharp. “Join me in congratulating IJRCS Editor James Daugherty for his dedicated leadership and insightful scholarship.”
