This course was created to give teachers the tools they need to introduce arranging to their students in an accessible way. It was designed with ensemble choir classes in mind, giving students the rare opportunity to sing each other’s music and learn from each other.
The course consists of four lessons (each with a listening assignment) followed by a final project in which students will arrange one chorus of a popular song for SATB a cappella choir.

Contrary to popular belief, your students don’t need to have music theory or notation experience in order to start arranging. In fact, arranging at a young age is one of the best things they can do to help those skills develop. I think you will find teaching and learning arranging in this way to be a unique and rewarding experience.
