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.
Dr. Christopher Loftin recently received his PhD in choral music education from Auburn University. His research focuses on vocally and visually expressive vocal performances as well as systems of student leadership in the choral ensemble. Christopher also holds a Bachelor of Science in choral music education from the University of Alabama and a Master of Education from the University of Montevallo (AL). Christopher is an active barbershop singer, performer, performance coach, and clinician. He has coached ensembles from the US, Germany, Canada, and Australia. He is a sought-after choral adjudicator, clinician, and festival preparatory consultant.
