The mission of the ACDA is to inspire excellence in choral music through education, performance, composition, and advocacy.

How are you using ChoralNet Communities?

Allen Simon, our webmaster, pointed me towards the Illinois State University Student Conducting Community on ChoralNet where Sarah Graham is using a ChoralNet Community with her choral conducting class to get her students connected to the choral world and the online resources that ChoralNet makes available to them.  Just a few of the discoveries her students made when instructed to explore the resources available on ChoralNet and the ACDA website include:
  • ..the radio station on here is awesome....
  • Under "Technology for Choral Music," the link for "MIDI Files" brought me to a selection of web pages that offered MIDI recordings of choral works
  • This was a page I found about various ways to recruit boys into a choir, specifically a middle school one
  • I did some reading on "Larynx Problems in a Young Singer" found under voice, vocal production.  (http://www.choralnet.org/view/220530)
Sarah gives her students specific assignments designed to get them to thinking about the choral art and how they approach challenges when they become choral conductors.
 
We're happy that ChoralNet Communities are being used in such an inventive and productive manner.  Have you joined a community?  Have you used it to network with others?  Do you know if all the members of your community are subscribed to the forum or blog?  What do you find useful?  What would you like to see improved or added?
 
Let us know.
