The Beginning of the End

Today we discussed how we will end the semester and this is what we talked about:

1.  7 Observation Reports - you need to provide one-page summary of the observations you have done (dates, places).  If you want to really make it easy for me (hint, hint), compile all of your observations into one document and send it to me that way.

2.  7 Blog posts or ChoralNet entries:  Document this for me as well.  I encourage you to copy/paste links into a document that details all of your work in this area.  You may find that "screenshots" of your work to be a good idea - check out a trial version of "SnagIt" to assist you in this area.

3.  You owe me written observations of the Britten exercise.  One of you, one of the person you were assigned to evaluate.

4.  We talked about a "final project" - creating a notebook that would eventually serve as a resource for you in the future.  You need to pick the type of notebook you want to create:

  • focusing on church music
  • focusing on children's music
  • other
This notebook should contain:
  • articles from Choral Journal
  • Websites
  • forum discussions
  • music reviews
  • actual music that you would use with your future ensemble
You might want to do a digital version of this notebook - maybe a PDF binder.
