ORACDA offers Fall Workshop!
September 13, 2023
Dear Oregon Choral Directors,
Our Fall Workshop is upon us. You do not want to miss it! It is being held this year on our statewide in-service day, Friday, October 13th, from 9AM-4PM at Lake Oswego High School in Lake Oswego, Oregon. There are engaging opportunities for all!
Middle School Honor Choir directed by Kent Wilson
Register middle school students who are ready for a one-day Honor Choir experience. Students will be led by the amazing Kent Wilson for a day of choral singing and community building. Students who attend the ACDA Honor Choir are encouraged to return as vocal leaders in their home school choirs. Please plan to attend or send a group chaperone if you are sending students, especially if that number is more than 5 from your school(s).
High School Choral Workshop directed by Aubrey Patterson
Register your section leaders, an SATB quartet, or octet for this fantastic opportunity! These singers will learn three pieces, sight singing techniques, and overall leadership skills. They will gain more confidence in leading by example when they return to their school ensembles. Teachers are welcome to attend and sing with their students or attend other sessions. These students will perform at the end of the day concert.
Professional Development Workshop by Sandy Babb
Dr. Babb will lead 3 interest sessions, 2 before lunch and 1 after. This allows time for directors to visit with colleagues as well as spend time in rehearsals with the clinicians.
Session 1: Focus on Repertoire
Tried and True, Old and New
Session 2: Focus on Literacy/Sight Reading
Using Repertoire to Grow Musicians
Session 3: Focus on Health
Vocal, Physical, & Emotional Well Being
