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.
The choir crash course is here to help you turn your choral program around, STARTING TODAY!
When you understand the philosophy embedded into the choir crash course and implement the related techniques, you will see a tremendous change in all aspects of your choir. I will guarantee it!
SPECIAL BONUS:
This Mid-Year Course also includes the entire first course: Choir Crash Course: 1st Days of Choir (and beyond) Prep as well!
As a result, you can make the changes today, and then be properly prepared to start next year as well!
Eliminate All Distractions and Disruptions from your rehearsal - so your rehearsals can run the way you planned!
Create the most effective Behavioral Guidelines for YOUR choir in 10 minutes!
Implement an Effective Classroom Management Plan that your students will buy-in to!
Re-direct excessively poor behavior with an only-seen-here personalized tool.
Write an Effective Handbook for your class that includes all of the essentials (an editable outline will be provided so you can cut and paste!) Start off next year with a comprehensive and practical handbook!
Teach your singers to self-assess their behavior (editable self-assessment tool will be provided)
Be the confident, passionate choral director who can INSPIRE their singers, now that their students are well-behaved, engaged, and excited to learn from you!
Next you will learn how to prepare and what to prepare for: you will learn how to eliminate all disruptions and distractions in your rehearsals.
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!
You will also learn how to structure an effective rehearsal and utilize that structure on a daily basis. This simple structure will allow for freedom and creativity. You will also learn how to engage an entire classroom by properly framing and answering questions.
Once you are properly prepared, i will show you how to announce the changes to your ensemble and then begin implementation. You can reignite your program at any point in the year. The mid-year retool was developed so you can make changes in the middle of a school year.
Next, you will learn exactly how to run the first rehearsal from start to finish and how to transition your students into this new structure.
This section is comprised of more than a dozen short but thorough videos and an equal amount downloadable resources that will save you so much time and guarantee your effectiveness in the classroom!
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 all 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
- start to inspire your singers
- have an amazing concert that is a product of positive and productive daily rehearsals!
This course will work for just about every choral setting from elementary through high school!
There is no secret trick here. The Choir Crash Course: 1st Day of Choir (and beyond) Prep & Mid-Year Retool (both included) provide a detailed approach that tackles any and all potential rehearsal issues. It shows you how to create a successful structure, effectively engage your students, and transfer the responsibility onto your students. This approach is simple and straight-forward.
Beside the approach itself, this course will save you a ton of prep time, reduce your stress, and ensure you are fully prepared for every rehearsal and situation that comes your way.
After taking this course, you will feel confident each and every time you get up in front of your ensemble!
This course can be completed in as little as a day but it will impact your program forever!

Yes. It will work the day you begin to implement it. I've actually included two courses here for one low price: The First Days of Choir (and beyond) Prep & Mid-Year Retool.
The foundation of both courses are the same.
With that said, there are things that can be done prior to the first day of school that can't be done mid-year. Those things, included here, will be perfect when you prepare to begin next year!
On the other hand, there are specific things you can do mid-year based on your real-time interactions and experience that can re-direct your program instantly!
Yes. This system will work with all ages K-12 and all ability levels. This approach allows choir directors of all levels to be successful!
Whether you are starting a new job in the Fall or taking over a new position mid-year, this course will set you and your students up for success!
You sure can! Once you are willing to accept that you have been part of the problem, you will be really to make instant changes that will turn your choir around!
I GUARANTEE this course will work for you. How can I say that, you ask?
Well, it's because the goal of this course is to get you to envision your ideal situation and help to provide you with the tools to get there. You don't need to leave your job.
You need to find the gratification in the job you currently have.
This course will equip you with new tools to be successful with your current students!
It will allow you to work smarter, not harder!
