First year choir teachers have it hard enough, trying to learn piano parts, do score study, learn the strengths and weaknesses of their new student voices, selecting repertoire, and the list goes on! Adding the creation of forms, lesson plans, and resources to this already overwhelming list can be a make or break situation for many new professionals in the field.
The goal of this website is to provide series of resources for high school choir teachers who are establishing the foundations of a choir program during their first year in a new position. These resources stem from the following necessary skills for first year teachers: building rapport, writing curriculum, recruitment, administrative duties, and public relations resources.
Credit and gratitude to the following choral music educators, for generously sharing their expertise and resources with this website, and all who might visit it:
