Topic: Choosing Quality Music (Choral & Classroom)

Welcome: Welcome to #elmusedchat. Introduce yourself- your name, grades you teach, and where you are from. Also, what types of performances do you lead at your school? (Choir, Orff ensemble, Grade Level Performances, other ensembles, etc.)

Q1: When choosing music for your choir or classroom performance, what are the things you look for first? #elmusedchat

Q2: How do you discern appropriate sing-ability/play-ability for an elementary choir/classroom performing group? #elmusedchat

Q3: Keeping in mind that beautiful unison singing is excellent as well, what strategies of part-work writing do you feel lend themselves to successful part singing at the elementary level? (Feel free to drop in the name of a great part-work piece.) #elmusedchat

Q4:When looking at the text of a piece – what elements do you consider? What makes a text “work” or not? (Feel free to drop in the name of a piece with excellent text.) #elmusedchat

Q5: How do you go about finding performance pieces? (Online, music store, conference, recommendations, concert programs)? What do you love about your process? What is challenging about the process? #elmusedchat

Q6: What is a piece you have done that has made your students’ eyes light up with excitement, passion, or hope? What about that song made it resonate so powerfully? #elmusedchat

Next Week: Thank you for joining us tonight! Join us next Sunday, August 18th at 8pm CST for Igniting Students’ Creative Spark. #elmusedchat
