As a high school choral director for more than two decades, I have accepted all singers, regardless of skill level, and placed them into the same ensemble. Students need an environment that is conducive to all learners. This can only happen when we develop the right culture for our students.
Over the past two decades, I have modernized my approach to Classroom Management. This approach no longer uses "Rules", "Consequences", and "Rewards". We live in a world where we want our students to feel safe, supported, and guided.
Your singers aren't inherently disruptive. If you are reading this, I know you believe this too. This choir prep course for choir teachers is to help you properly prepare for the 1st Day of Choir and every day beyond!
When you understand the philosophy embedded into this choir prep course and implement the techniques, you will see a tremendous change in all aspects of your choir. I will guarantee it!
Eliminate all disruptions and distractions that ruin the flow of your rehearsal
Choose the best to ensure a successful learning environment for all of your students
Know how to manage poor behavior without punishing yourself (or your students)
Maintain the flow of your rehearsal, even when students are misbehaving or choosing to interrupt
Have an simple, yet effective strategy for seating your students
Teach your students to self-assess their own behaviour, so you can focus on other things!
Have a masterful plan for the first rehearsal, first week, and beyond!
Be the choral director who is prepared to INSPIRE their students because their students are ready, willing, and able to learn!
In the second video, I will debunk 3 big myths that too many choir directors believe and have, in turn, created their own downfall. I will also share with you the 11 common mistakes teachers make on the very first day! These are costly errors.
Next you will learn how to prepare and what to prepare for: you will learn how to eliminate all disruptions and distractions. You will learn how to create effective guidelines, procedures and routines. You will be prepared to re-direct and encourage students who aren't behaving appropriately. I will be providing resources and cheat sheets to make this process a breeze!
Once you are properly prepared, you will be creating a handbook for your class. I will be providing the handbook outline for you as an editable document. You will be cutting and pasting your new information right into the handbook!
Next, you will learn EXACTLY how to plan for the first day, how to run the first rehearsal from start to finish, and how to run rehearsals for the first few weeks of class. This is comprised of 10 mainly short but thorough videos and an equal amount downloadable resources that will save you so much time and GUARANTEE your effectiveness in the classroom!
This choir prep course is GUARANTEED to make you feel prepared for the 1st day and beyond!
Are you an experienced teacher who is TIRED or being WARN OUT at the end of your rehearsals?
This course will show you WHY that has been happening and create a new system for you AND your singers to THRIVE!
Teaching is difficult. Directing a choir is difficult.
Imagine eliminating the rehearsal disruptions, poor behavior, lack of focus, etc.
Would that make teaching less difficult? You BET it would!
Do you feel like you have it worse than other choral directors? Do your students NOT CARE, REFUSE TO TRY, TALK BACK?
YOU CAN FIX THIS!
Turn this around.
Create an atmosphere that breeds success.
Create an atmosphere where you can:
- finish your thoughts
- not engage in arguments with students
- focus on teaching
- FOCUS ON INSPIRING!
- HAVE AN AMAZING CONCERT that is a product of AMAZING DAILY REHEARSALS!
