Even when all the plans are best laid, we sometimes miss. How do we reflect and redirect before we lose the whole school year?

Part 5

The episode is the FIFTH part of a series titled “The First Days of Choir,” inspired by Harry Wong’s educational text “The First Days of School.” This particular episode, part five, shifts focus from Wong’s general educational strategies to more music-specific elements relevant to vocal and music educators at the start of the school year. Chris shares insights and live clips from their own choir classes, highlighting experiences with different groups, including an intermediate group in their second year, a third-year group, and an advanced chamber choir. The episode also includes a reflective segment where we discuss the challenges and opportunities of starting a new school year, emphasizing the importance of a strong start and offering encouragement to educators.
