MUS 376 - Teaching Vocal and Choral Music in Secondary Schools

This course provides an in-depth study of how to teach secondary choral music. Students develop and exercise teaching skills in the choral conducting context. Students reflect on their own teaching by intentionally examining pedagogy, materials, and personal resources. Students develop a philosophical basis for teaching; explore teaching as imagination; examine relevant developmental, social, and vocal issues in the secondary choral classroom; and experiment with various teaching transactions, including vocal warm-ups, sight-reading, teaching from the keyboard, and rehearsal of repertoire. Required for vocal music education majors.
