Does your teacher toolbox resemble a kitchen junk drawer? While most conductors have experienced countless rehearsal strategies, many struggle to recall the right tool in the moment. This session will explore how organizing musical concepts into frameworks can help educators better plan their rehearsals. The musical goals of note acquisition, vocal technique, and expressivity will be covered. Strategies for achieving these goals through the use of kinesthetic, metaphorical, and technical tools will also be discussed. In addition, this interlude will highlight how teaching in multiple modalities allows students to learn more efficiently while quickly achieving their goals.
