Success in choral music is often defined in traditional terms. While that model works for many students, we are wondering if other definitions of success can include and honor every type of student in our schools. How can CMEA begin to champion all types of vocal music programs happening throughout the state? How will we showcase relevant innovative practices in our field that respond to our diverse classrooms? We have hand-selected a panel of educators who creatively work outside of the traditional choral model. Come hear their ideas and share your own. Educators in a variety of circumstances (small schools, urban schools, schools with diverse student populations, teachers without formal vocal music training, as well as teachers in more traditional settings) will find value in this discussion.
