Stuck in the Middle… School Choir With You

Stan McGill has developed another outstanding course to infuse today’s choral repertoire with modern classics. Building on the success of The Greatest Generation…of Choral Music, Stuck in the Middle…School Choir With You focuses on composers and pieces for the developing singer in the middle school choir. Best-selling octavos will be showcased, many NOT found in current reading sessions. Each student will view over 100 choral pieces, each outstanding “sure-fire winners” from composers including Joyce Eilers, Roger Emerson, Ruth Artman, Emily Crocker, Laura Farnell, Cristi Carrie Miller, Mary Lynn Lightfoot, Julie Knowles, Victor Johnson and Rollo Dilworth, among many more! More than just a reading session, this course will delve into rehearsal and teaching techniques, how text impacts the music, and other aspects to effectively prepare, rehearse and perform each piece.

Chat Sessions will be held on each Wednesday starting September 21, 2022 to December 7, 2022 from 6:00 to 7:30pm CST. Note: There will be no class on Wednesday, November 23rd.
