Music Expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Music Missions: reaching out to our youth through their voices

Music Missions: reaching out to our youth through their voices

As an aspiring choir director, I am always on the lookout for new information to assist me in my "learning to teach" process. This blog will have information geared towards young choral directors, everything from program assistance to choral sound recordings to soloist techniques! Anything supplementary for the classroom and the kids. I hope you find it useful!

Larynx and Vocal Tract

As a choral director you must always keep in mind the fragility of your ensemble's instruments! Using photos like these in your classroom really helps the students understand their instrument and what is happening as sound is emitted. Explain to your classroom briefly the function of the larynx and the rest of the bucco/oral/nasal cavities that form the Vocal Tract and produce sound. It may seem odd, but pointing out the actual anatomy to your choir really helps to put things into perspective!
