About the Event

In this webinar, the presenter will discuss what vocal and visual expression is and what life-changing vocal and choral performances look and sound like. He will survey several video clips from exceptional performances from around the world that highlight technical and emotional excellence. By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) identify elements of vocal and visual expression in vocal/choral performances across genres, nationalities, ethnicities, and genders; 2) describe what makes each performance emotionally engaging; and 3) describe performance elements that participants want to implement with their students.
