Reply To: justifying a high school chamber choir

[nafmeadmin]

A fellow LGPE adjudicator once compared this situation to putting the Calculus students in the same classroom as the Algebra one students. While this may not be a perfect analogy, there are certainly advantages to having a graded choir system at your school. It allows you to challenge the advanced students with more difficult literature and sight-reading, expanding their vocal technique and musical knowledge, and allowing you to implement higher level discussions in rehearsal that just aren’t feasible with beginners.
