Choir Teacher TikTok and Tips for Social Media Use for Educators with Katherine Rosenfeld

Almost like a living business card, we are curating public personas that for some people are the closest they will come to knowing the “real” person.

The Enneagram As a Tool for Harmonious Rehearsals with Kailin Kane

I was recently introduced to the Enneagram, so I cannot claim any expertise on it, so I called in a knowledgable friend! I invited Kailin Kane to come explain the Enneagram in a way that can enhance the context for those that know about it already, or as an introduction to noobs like me. As a music educator, she also has some really interesting ideas for using Enneagram as lens through which a director could view our students, singers or players. If we have groups of any size in front of us, it is safe to say that we have each of the nine distinct points of view operating within our rehearsal. Understanding these human truths can help us create an environment of empathy and compassion in our rehearsal spaces.
