Teaching Choral Music

This video was taken during my choral placement at Iowa City High School. It demonstrates me accompanying and conducting "Inscription of Hope" by Z. Randall Stroope. It also shows the choir being warmed up and performing exercises in sight reading.
Enjoy!

You guys ended up much better than this. Everyone should know this was your second day being rehearsed.

Why do you look so familiar? Geneseo, IL? Moody Bible Institute? Which life do I know you from?

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm doing a music degree at the moment and would really like to conduct a choir after I finish. I've also been asked to take over my local church choir after I graduate but few of them read music so I need to find a way of teaching all the parts!

My problem is that I've only been a musician for about 8 years and had scarce experience with ensemble work before starting college, so I need to watch videos like this!
