Workshops
Working with Aging Voices – Alexa Doebele
As congregation demographics continue to skew older and older, knowing how to work with aging voices is increasingly important. Come for some practical ideas for working with those older voices we hold so dear!

The “Why” of Warmups – Alexa Doebele
This workshop will explore not only why it is important for choir directors to include vocal warm-ups, but also how to make them relevant for your singers.

Musician’s Grab Bag – Michael Schaner
A group conversation facilitated by Michael centered on the issues participants face in the church with ideas such as: creative ways to “spice” up your hymn playing, affordable resources for finding music and more! Bring your questions and be ready to share.
