Under the guidance of University of Oregon professor Sharon Paul, teachers will participate actively in seminars and attend concerts. They will also observe rehearsals of the 80-plus high school singers of the Stangeland Family Youth Choral Academy — some of the best in the nation — directed by acclaimed conductors Anton Armstrong and Helmuth Rilling.

The workshop aims to help teachers:

• Develop more effective rehearsal techniques
• Study scores and absorb new techniques to get the most out of performances
• Reinforce workshop topics as you observe rehearsals with Rilling, Armstrong and Bobby McFerrin
• Develop ways you can take workshop ideas home to your own classrooms
• Learn about the ways the SFYCA can benefit your students
• Refresh your craft in a collegial environment
• Further apply what you’ve learned as you attend OBF concerts

The Registration Fee is $195 per person and includes all workshop materials and a ticket to the July 5 SFYCA concert with Bobby McFerrin.  The 2010 SFYCA program takes place June 24 - July 5. in Eugene, Oregon.
