The First Days of Choir Part 6: Installing a Personhood Curriculum
Manage episode 505862043 series 2507740
What is the POINT of a solid, well installed, Choral/Vocal Pedagogy for young people? Why does it matter? Just to make good performers? Or is it something deeper…

The episode is the sixth part of a series titled “The First Days of Choir,” inspired by Harry Wong’s educational text “The First Days of School.” In this episode, we engage in a thoughtful discussion on the role of anti-fragility in education. We explore how facing challenges can help students grow and adapt. Through the lens of art, we consider ways to build the whole person, integrating creativity and critical thinking into the curriculum. Join us as we explore strategies to nurture adaptable, well-rounded individuals in an ever-changing world. The strategies for teachers included in the episode address both personal balance with the job, but also the value of authenticity in the classroom and its role in our mental health.
Segments were pulled from one of the most popular presentations in the Choralosophy Repertoire called “Maximize You” originally presented at Alabama ACDA.

- Excerpts from popular “Arts of Personhood and Shining Eyes” Presentation
- Reframing concepts from the first 5 episodes into a cohesive end goal.
