When we come back from these unprecedented times, let's be sure we're coming back with best practices, best intentions, and that we're ready to coach our students through one of the most anxiety inducing parts of choral ensembles: sight-singing! This session will take us back to the basics of audiation, solo and ensemble sight-singing, and include opportunities for attendees to collaborate in creating an open-source collection of tools, tricks, and tips allowing us all to benefit from our collective experience.

Review of fundamental solo and ensemble sight-singing techniques; review of the tenets of audiation as they relate to sight-singing; collaborative development of a 'best practices' repository of tips and tricks for sight-singing
