I will concur will Mary Jane on that issue. I was a student in an inner-city school district (FWISD) and under the direction of Mrs. Sherylynn Porter at Southwest High School. Our choir program was in the dumps before she came, and now, it is one of the stronger ones in the district, but not […]

Coming next week, I will be holding a rehearsal for my church choir since the choirmaster will be unavailable. I am in my senior year at TCU and almost on my way out, but there is a problem that lies ahead. While he is gone, I will have to rehearse Beethoven’s 9th with them and […]

In honor of its 40th anniversary, Wallingford Chorus is sponsoring a choral composition competition. The chorus is reaching out to experienced choral music composers to enter an original, unperformed piece of music for consideration. The winning piece will be debuted by the chorus at a future concert with the winning composer receiving a $500 prize. […]

I guest conducted a high school group whose sopranos were untrained last fall for just a few sessions, and these vocalises did yield some instant results. I think my own demonstration was […]

Anyone know where to download a good arrangement for an 8 women’s choir.

The person wasn’t particularly religious, so a Gospel going-to-heaven-hallelujah wouldn’t really work, although a requiem wouldn’t be a problem. Obviously not all […]

I’m looking for some renaissance music for my choral literature class. Just some good choral music for middle school or high school choirs.

What are some good Renaissance songs for a high school choir?

Does anyone know a great way to text message a group at one time?  I have tried using charms music utility, but it has been rejected by most cell phone providers.  I would prefer a way to this from the web.

HI!  My husband is possibly being transferred to Dallas.  I am certified in Illinois and have taught here 19 years.  Can anyone tell me: 1.  What are the Dallas public schools like? 2.  Are the choral music programs are as amazing as I have heard? 3.  What are the salary ranges for public school teachers […]
