Episode 251 - It’s my privilege in this episode to interview one of my former students, Claire Dupre. Claire is a choral specialist who has also taught orchestra and band. She was the piano player in my jazz band and was in marching band. Claire shares tips on: what does a choral warm-up look like - how to teach choir parts - how to determine what (if any) part a student should sing - other resources and tips. Claire is also a composer. Perhaps you would like to commission her for a project or maybe you would like some voice lessons. Find out more about her at www.dupremusicstudio.com.

In this episode, I interview Cece Roudabush, Director of Education for New Harmony Line. Hyperscore is their composition program that helps you teach composition, one of our music standards.
