From Concepts to Concerts Building Competence in the Choral Classroom Earlene Rentz
Foreword by André Thomas
CMF4 - $34.95
From Concepts to Concerts is an essential supplementary text for the choral rehearsal, providing exercises that teach concepts to choral singers. The exercises are arranged in a simple-to-complex order that will allow for success through all grade levels, providing challenges for young singers as well as more advanced students. Of course, teachers have the freedom to use these exercises as the resource they were intended – including permission to copy for classroom use.
Dr. Rentz has prepared From Concepts to Concerts based on her own experience in choral clinics and workshops. Presented here is a great collection of exercises and drills that will assist students in improving musicianship, divided into four sections:
1.) Pitches and Intervals
2.) Tempo and Meter
3.) Symbols and Structure
4.) Text and Phrasing.
This book will help choral teachers:
• Maximize rehearsal time
• Solve musical problems in repertoire BEFORE the music is opened
• Transfer concepts into repertoire
• Minimize teaching time while increasing repertoire
• Teach choral concepts to be transferred into repertoire
• Find solutions for challenges in rhythm, pitch, tempo, phrasing, diction, style, and meter
