HELP! I'M AN INSTRUMENTALIST TEACHING CHOIR with Dr. Robert L. Sinclair 1 graduate credit $350 October 5–6, 2019
In this atmosphere of educational change, music teachers are being asked to wear multiple hats. This course is designed to help the band or orchestra educator with a few of the essentials for teaching choir.
