This episode pulls wisdom from Betsy Cooke Weber, on building a culture of leadership, ownership and professionalism in our classrooms and ensembles. This loaded “how to” session comes from her appearance back in episode 45 with updated thoughts from my on how these ideas are working in my classroom.
“If I were to return to K-12, I would not touch the piano.” One of the most important things we do to teach students independence, resilience and leadership in a rehearsal is to CONVINCE them that they don’t need you in order to learn the music. This takes time, and commitment to a process, and a pedagogy that is committed to this ultimate outcome.
Another crucial component is the director’s intentional structuring of rehearsals in ways that kids have the time and the resources they need to become co-creators of the music with us. We will hear Betsy’s thoughts about this as well as my reflections about some of the practices I installed since I first had this conversation.
As always, I hope you find something useful here!

Recently, Apollo5 was touring through the US, and stopped not too far from me. So I grabbed my road kit and drove to St. Louis to speak with them, observe some rehearsal and hear their concert. Small ensemble, or consort singing, is in many ways a completely different art form than “traditional choral singing.” And it isn’t quite solo singing either. You will hear and see some live recordings captured during rehearsal in this episode! Apollo5 is comprised of Clare Stewart and Penelope Appleyard (sopranos), Joseph Taylor and Jacob Ewens (tenors), and Augustus Perkins-Ray (bass). The six of us discussed a wide range of topics from the technical to the aesthetic aspects of small vocal ensemble singing and presentations. Why we must fight to preserve live performance in an era where recorded music is becoming less financially viable. The differences in approach when you have no one to “blend” with. The barriers avoided when there is no conductor in the concert. Making our performances more accessible by being mindful of how we communicate with the audience. Don’t miss this one!

Comprising a soprano, mezzo-soprano, two tenors and a bass, the ensemble – which takes its name from the ancient Greek god of music – has become known for its ability to connect with intimacy and directness, showcasing with rich, dynamic and distinctive sound how powerful five voices alone can be. With a versatile approach to music programming, and a repertoire spanning renaissance, classical and contemporary choral works to folk, jazz and pop, the group’s five voices bring the music of five centuries to life.

The group is a regular guest on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune , and often receives airplay from the national broadcaster, as well as other UK stations Classic FM, Magic Classical and NTS Radio. 2024/25 tour highlights include a trip to the USA under new agency representation; appearances at European festivals such as Common Ground (NL) and Koorfestival Vlaanderen (BE); and special concert celebrating the ensemble’s 15th anniversary at the Barbican Centre in London. The group has released six solo studio albums. Haven , which explores the music of troubled, displaced and persecuted composers and features a full setting of William Byrd’s Mass For Five Voices , was released in 2023 to critical acclaim. Other albums include Where All Roses Go and O Radiant Dawn (both of which charted in the top 5 of the UK Classical Charts), winter disc A Deep But Dazzling Darkness , and Invocations , a piano-accompanied treasury of favourite songs recorded with composer and arranger Fraser Wilson. In January 2025, APOLLO5 will release their seventh album, Anam , a Gaelic-tinged programme of “music to move the soul”. During the pandemic, APOLLO5 was part of the launch of LIVE From London , a series of live broadcasts from many of the world’s leading vocal ensembles and orchestras. These online concerts brought music to the homes of millions during the pandemic, and raised funds for more than 500 artists, composers and production teams in the process; the festival continues to thrive online in today’s post-pandemic world.

I grew up as a conductor in a world where conductors were measured by their ears. We were kind of obsessed with it. And maybe for good reason. In addition to perception, what other tools do great conductors have? Conductors today are judged by many criteria in many different contexts. But in the rehearsal room, there are some non-negotiable skills we need to develop. Richard Sparks joins me on this GIA/WALTON series episode for a deep dive into what truly makes a conductor effective. It’s not just about baton technique—it’s about how you listen, how you interpret, and how you communicate with your ensemble. Richard shares lessons from his own conducting journey, as well as insights from working with some of the most respected musicians in the field. We also discuss Why developing strong aural skills is critical for making musical adjustments How conductors can balance verbal instruction with physical expressiveness The importance of studying scores independently to build deeper musical insights Why self-assessment—whether through recording rehearsals or active reflection—is key to growth Whether you’re leading a professional choir, a high school ensemble, or just interested in the art of conducting, this episode will challenge you to rethink what tools are in YOUR Conductor’s Tool Box .

A common theme on this show is “teaching the WHOLE language of music.” So, I was pleased to link up with Cindy to hear how important dictation is in her pedagogy. A crucial and often missing element of common teaching practice. What does it take to build a thriving choir program—and a lifelong passion for music? Yes, but also solid pedagogy and TIME with students… In this episode of The Choralosophy Podcast , I sit down with Cindy Ellis , a choir director from Miami, to explore her incredible journey from growing up in Cuba to shaping young singers in the U.S. Cindy shares how her experiences as an immigrant shaped her approach to teaching, why music literacy is non-negotiable , and how she fosters student independence through composition, dictation, and ear training . Key discussion topics include: Cindy’s personal journey from Cuba to the U.S. and into music education The power of dictation and memorization in choral training How to bridge the gap between middle and high school music programs The importance of student-led learning and independent musicianship Why choir directing is more than just music—it’s about building kind, respectful humans If you’re passionate about choral education, student growth, and the power of music , this episode is a must-listen.

I often see “technique” and “expression” discussed as opposite sides of the coin. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The technique UNLOCKS the expressive capacity. Don’s past appearances on tuning systems and pitch matching have been very popular with colleagues. Links below. Many singers and conductors focus on interpretation and expression , but without the right technical foundation, true artistry can never fully develop. Imagine trying to teach a singer how to be expressive—without first ensuring they have the technical control to execute it. That’s like asking someone to paint a masterpiece before they even know how to hold a brush. In this episode of The Choralosophy Podcast , I sit down with Donald Brinegar to explore how structure and technique lay the foundation for expressive, effortless singing. We dive into breath efficiency, resonance, articulation, and mental clarity —all crucial elements in developing a truly flexible and expressive voice. Don recently released this concept as something he calls a “nested hierarchy” with the acronym “APROARTE” in a book under that name. Key Topics We Discuss: Why great singing starts with great breath control How posture, resonance, and airflow shape vocal efficiency The power of “hot air” breathing and larynx positioning How small adjustments can make a huge difference in vocal freedom The science behind expressiveness —and how to train it effectively If you’re passionate about helping singers reach their full potential , this episode is packed with practical takeaways.

The Symphony and its Chorus provides us with a rich history, Canon, and tradition. It also provides us a powerful medium for living composers, and aspiring musicians. I’m excited to share this conversation featuring the extraordinary Anthony Blake Clark —of the Dallas Symphony Chorus and Baltimore Choral Arts, who wants us to consider the Symphony Chorus as a vital part of the choral music ecosystem. In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore Blake’s approach to large ensemble rehearsal, his vision for the future of choral music, and the role symphony choruses can play in shaping lifelong music-making. Blake’ s Journey From a small farming community in Texas to leading renowned ensembles like the Dallas Symphony Chorus, Anthony shares how his love for choral music grew during his time at Baylor University and how his studies with Simon Halsey in the UK deepened his passion for combining choral and orchestral traditions. Along the way, he’s held leadership roles with Baltimore Choral Arts, Bach Vespers in New York, and now the Dallas Symphony Chorus. Key Topics We Discuss: The Unique Role of Symphony Choruses : We discuss how the perception of choral music in the U.S.—as something for children, the elderly, or limited to university choirs—has hurt our choral culture. Balancing Tradition and Innovation : Anthony shares his commitment to preserving the masterworks of choral literature while also championing new compositions. Managing Large Ensembles : With experience conducting groups ranging from 12 to 200 singers, Anthony opens up about the challenges of working with large ensembles and the importance of building trust, establishing a rhythmic foundation, and addressing issues directly with individual singers. Expanding Choral Music Accessibility : We discuss how professional choirs and symphonic ensembles can bring world-class music-making to more communities, showing that choral singing can be a lifelong passion for everyone, not just a stepping stone in academic settings.

He is in demand by both amateur and professional choral artists because of his “readily apparent musicality” (Baltimore Sun) and his conviction that lives can be changed by participating in classical music, whether on the stage or in the audience. Clark has performed with some of the most important ensembles in legendary venues throughout the USA and Europe. He has prepared choral ensembles for prestigious orchestras such as the Rundfunkchor Berlin with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Vienna Radio Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra , and the Richmond Symphony Orchestra for esteemed conductors such as Marin Alsop, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Fabio Luisi, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, and Simon Halsey.

Music has long been celebrated as a universal language, capable of moving hearts, bridging divides, and bringing people together. But what exactly is ‘The Power of Music’? Is it in the melody, the rhythm, or something deeper? In this episode of Choralosophy, we’re diving into a fascinating concept with Dr. Ryan Luhrs: that the true power of music might actually lie within the choir itself. Imagine a space where people from different backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives can gather, set aside differences, and create something beautiful together. You might even call this a ‘natural laboratory for reconciliation’—and choirs, as it turns out, might hold the key. Think about it: in a world that often feels divided and polarized, choirs create the perfect environment for collaboration, empathy, and common ground. It’s not just about singing the right notes—it’s about listening, adapting, and building trust with others. These qualities, so essential to successful music-making, are also the very building blocks of community and reconciliation. “Intergroup Contact Theory” comes from the field of Social Psychology and describes the conditions under which groups that have important differences or even conflict can find reconciliation. In this discussion, Ryan and parse out why this matters, not just for musicians, but for anyone who believes in the power of human connection. How can choirs serve as a model for unity in a fractured world? And how can directors, singers, and audiences alike harness this power to make a real difference? Whether you’re a seasoned choir director, a lifelong singer, or someone who simply loves music, this conversation will open your eyes to the deeper role choirs play in our society—and the profound impact they can have beyond the rehearsal room.

The US is a cultural exporter, and often times, we don’t do a great job of importing. I find it fascinating and valuable, as an American, to seek out stories from around the world. As a American choir director, it is easy to assume that the way choral music functions in our culture is “normal.” So, let’s broaden our horizons by talking with Javiera Lara Salvador, a talented choral conductor from Chile, who brings valuable insights about choral music and education in her country. Javiera walks me through her journey, beginning with her discovery of singing in school and continuing to her studies in choral conducting in Santiago. She shares how choral music education in Chile offers unique pathways, though opportunities, such as full-time choir teaching, remain limited to nonexistent . We also explored the vibrant choral scene in Santiago, including community choirs supported by local municipalities, and the fascinating repertoire that blends traditional Chilean music with influences from around the world. We discuss her work with “Voces de Vitacura,” a community choir with members spanning generations, and University Choir at the University of Adolfo Ibáñez and the Taktus Ensemble. Our discussion touched on the parallels and contrasts between music education in Chile and the United States, highlighting the privilege of access to music education and the universal challenges faced by choir directors. Javiera even shared her enthusiasm for Latin American composers like Modesta Bor and Cesar Alejandro Carrillo, sparking a discussion about the joy of integrating diverse musical traditions, and pushing boundaries of the art form while honoring its traditions. If you’ve ever been curious about the global choral community or want to celebrate the joy of making music with others, this episode is for you. Let’s dive in! Choralosophy presented by Ludus.

There is a paradox between performance and pedagogy. Are we teaching our ensembles to perform? Or are we teaching them skills that LEAD them to become performers? Is it time for a paradigm shift? This week, I am thrilled to bring you a fascinating conversation with Dr. Andrew Schmidt, an accomplished music educator and researcher. Andrew’s passion for music cognition and educational PROCESS takes us on a deep dive into the relationship between learning music, performance, and cognitive development. Together, we unpack the challenges of conducting meaningful research in our field, the nuanced differences between instrumental and vocal instruction, and the power of teaching students the why behind the what in music education. Often times, ensemble music teachers feel the pressure to put the performance on the calendar and then sprint! This episode is about more than just music; it’s about helping students connect the dots, fostering executive function, and balancing the process of learning with the magic of performance. It’s about TEACHING. Andrew also shares some thought-provoking ideas on teaching powerful knowledge in rehearsals and rethinking how we engage students with music. Choralosophy presented by Ludus.

Enneagram study has been used to heal families, relationships, work places and more. It is also used by individuals seeking to simply have a better relationship with themselves. In this episode, we explore the possible uses of this system for understanding human motivation in ensembles, classrooms and even in music making. In this episode, I’m thrilled to sit down with Sarah McMahill for a thought-provoking conversation about the fascinating intersections between the Enneagram, music, and personal growth. In the opening segment of the podcast, I make a short presentation on “The Math of the Enneagram” and its implications on group dynamics and classroom management. Then, Sarah takes us on a journey through her experiences with this powerful personality framework, sharing how it has deepened her understanding of herself, her students, and her colleagues. Enneagram and Music Download Sarah is vulnerable about how the Enneagram provided clarity during challenging moments in her life, including its role in mental and physical wellbeing. We discuss everything from the alignment of the body’s physical centers with Enneagram principles, to how understanding stress responses can help manage stage fright and other performance challenges. We even touch on the connections between the Enneagram and music theory, exploring ideas like the tritone as a metaphor for growth and change, and Sarah’s creative process in writing a song cycle inspired by the nine Enneagram types.

2024 comes to a close this week! What a ride its been. This episode features highlights of YOUR favorite episodes of the year, as well as a preview of a new Choralosophy Community blog advocating for a possibly new way of viewing “Merit” and “Rigor” in music education. The top episode of the year was my coverage, with the brave help of Michal Dawson Connor , of the debacle that unfolded at All Saints Episcopal in Pasadena. “Excluded in the Name of Inclusion” was a difficult, but necessary conversation, and was even covered on one of the world’s biggest podcasts “Blocked and Reported.” The next episode falls into the category of “Free PD” that you should turn in to your school district if you are a teacher. This episode built our vocabulary around concepts related to choral intonation and sound building. James Jordan helped us kick off our new GIA/Walton series with a bang! Next up, in the third spot was another show that generated a healthy amount of controversy. It stemmed from an article written in the Choral Journal advocating for the removal of Sight Singing from All State Choir assessments. I disagreed with the suggestion vehemently, and invited the author, Dr. Marshaun Hyman to join me and Dr. Chantae Pittman in a good faith discussion. Some common ground was found, but I am not sure any minds were changed. Rounding out the top 10 episodes in terms of total listens/views was a fantastic example of the diversity of topics explored on this show. From nuanced discussions of the ways diversity impacts our music making environments, to practical ideas for music classrooms explained and demonstrated, to vocal pedagogy gems, to the adolescent boys AND girls changing voices and brain development of musicians. Chukwuebuka Ezeakacha on ways to make the music of Africa accessible to choirs of the West, while maintaining authenticity. Anita Collins of “Bigger Better Brains” with a summary of the research on neurological benefits of music learning, and why choir gets left out of that research. David Jones joins me to share a jam packed episode on vocal pedagogy focusing on exercises and warm ups that are helpful for beginning AND advanced singers. Then, a pair of episodes really climbed the download latter this fall that were generated from within my classroom. One walked the audience through the process I have developed for assessing a new music reader’s appropriate “level” for reading music alone . The other is a peak in to my choral warm ups ! Rounding out the top 10, and I swear I am not making this up…are TWO episodes on the adolescent changing voice. Both Bridget Sweet and Martin Ashley are experts in this area and offer masterful explanations of the things we should know and consider when caring for developing young singers.

According to this view, if a student is talented and diligent, they will inevitably achieve success—whether by joining an All-State ensemble, securing a college scholarship, or pursuing a distinguished performing career. This framework, which has produced many remarkable musicians from diverse backgrounds, seems to be the ultimate formula for success. However, this perspective has always overlooked a crucial element: luck . Factors such as geographic location, financial resources, race, gender, and access to quality instruction play a significant role in determining outcomes. While raising awareness of these disparities has gained traction in recent years, I believe we need to address an essential aspect that is often neglected. Great deals, speedy shipping, and back to school sales at SheetMusicPlus! We must acknowledge two key truths: 1) No perfect meritocratic system exists : It is a fallacy to believe that every choir audition, or job application, or college admissions form is perfectly selecting for the “objectively” best person for each position. So, of course, this would also extend out to societal level structures. Some may simplify this phenomenon by shrugging their shoulders and saying “life isn’t fair.” There is a time and a place for this shoulder shrugging. Sometimes we have to shrug to preserve our sanity. But, in my view there is NO appropriate time for that type of disengagement from inequities to lead us to create a mythology in our minds about “the perfect meritocratic system.” 2) Merit itself, and how to measure it, is not the problem. Many argue that because not everyone has equal access to rigorous music education, we should evaluate students based on different criteria. Indeed, we lack a universal standard for what constitutes a “great” musician, and differing opinions on this can be beneficial. In fact, I would argue that it is the fact that such a question would generate multiple answers, that makes this such an important topic for educators to discuss.

Fads like “learning styles,” “restorative justice,” “inquiry based learning” and more, versus Cognitive Load Theory, Explicit Instruction etc. Marcie Samayoa’s experience as an ESL/immigrant student has shaped her view on teaching at risk American kids. in this episode, I’m joined by Marcie Samayoa—a dedicated chemistry teacher and passionate advocate for evidence-based education. We tackle some of the biggest debates in modern teaching, starting with one myth we’ve all heard: learning styles. Are you a “visual learner”? An “auditory learner”? Turns out, science doesn’t back that up. Marcie and I break down why this myth still lingers and explore what actually works in the classroom, from explicit instruction to cognitive load theory. But we don’t stop there. We dive into real struggles teachers face every day—burnout, moral injury, and the overwhelming pressure to implement new methods without proper support. Marcie shares her frustration: Why are foundational skills like cognitive load and explicit instruction self-taught instead of core training for educators? We also discuss balancing inquiry-based learning with strong fundamentals—something that resonates in both science and music. Whether it’s balancing chemical equations or teaching a choir to sight-read, we agree: students need clear, structured guidance before they can truly explore. Finally, we hit on a tough question: Is prioritizing social-emotional learning over academics helping or hurting our students? Marcie and I discuss how teachers can support students and stay focused on their academic success—without burning out or overstepping their roles. Choralosophy presented by Ludus.

Currently, she is finalizing her National Board Certification while teaching high school Chemistry. Over the course of her nine years in the classroom, Marcie has encountered many students who feel intimidated by science before they even begin.

The “Classical” or Concert Music tradition has traditionally relied on a nobility or an institution for funding. This is a challenge in our modern world that has seen such a massive boom of popular and commercial genres, that reject this model. Where does that leave us today? I sit down with Samuel Andreyev—a brilliant composer, educator, YouTube and Podcast host , and one of the most insightful voices on the state of music and the arts today. We’re diving headfirst into a big question: has American pop music—jazz, blues, rock, and film scores—overshadowed classical traditions so much that icons like Leonard Bernstein could never emerge again? Samuel and I explore how the overwhelming dominance of pop culture has made it harder than ever for classical music to capture mainstream attention in the U.S., leaving it to fight for survival in niche spaces. But that’s just the beginning. Samuel shares his fascinating journey from studying at the Paris Conservatory to becoming a French citizen and a digital content creator, where his unique insights now inspire students and composers around the world. We talk about the internet’s double-edged sword—how it creates opportunities for artists but also floods the market with distractions, making it harder than ever to stand out. We also tackle the big challenges of music education: how to keep classical music relevant, why today’s musicians need to be as entrepreneurial as they are talented, and the dangers of relying too much on outdated institutions or academic pathways.

Musicworks magazine has said of Samuel Andreyev: ‘the music’s tautness conceals profound eccentricity: wild colouristic imagination and quick, perverse wit come together in dramatic shifts of hue.’ Born in Kincardine, Canada in 1981, Andreyev studied composition with Allain Gaussin and Frédéric Durieux in Paris, and rose to prominence in the 2010s when he was awarded the Henri Dutilleux Prize (for ‘Night Division’), was named artist-in-residence at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid, and was given the opportunity to record his first portrait disc at Radio France. Since then, his chamber, orchestral, vocal and solo works have been performed, recorded and broadcast throughout the world.

One of the core functions of a choir director or vocal music educator is to teach people to love and understand their voice. This episode is the latest addition to the Choralosophy Vocal Pedagogy Suite. Voice teacher David Jones joins me this week to discuss some tips, approaches and even some exercises and language to try in your rehearsals with singers of ALL ages. In today’s episode, we have the privilege of hearing from David, a dedicated vocal pedagogue who began his journey as a high school singer in choirs. David shares his experiences studying under renowned vocal teachers like Alan Lindquest and emphasizes the vital balance of vocal registration to avoid strain, keeping the voice healthy. We’ll delve into the concept of “perfect attack” or coordinated onset, which is crucial for both young singers and adults. David explains how a coordinated onset leads to better breath support and control. We spend a lot of time discussing ways to help singers release tension allowing for freely legato singing. Demonstrations and descriptions of several exercises that were new to me, had me excited to try some new ones in my class! As we discussed teaching beginning singers, David emphasized the importance of establishing good habits early on and shared his unique methods, like various tension transfer exercises. I also really enjoyed our discussion toward the end about “technique phobia” and the concern that technical perfection often gets associated with dry or emotionless performance.

Nothing we do as choral singers, directors teachers, music appreciators and consumers would be possible without the “garden” that grows our young musicians in elementary school. Music as a language grows best in the early years. Let’s water the garden. This week, Elementary general music and choir director, Chy Billings from Olathe, KS joins me in my home studio for a lively discussion about our PRIMARY constituency. The elementary school music student. Why do we teach music to kids in elementary? The idea of a “feeder program” misses the point? We build musicianship skills in order for kids to learn to MAKE music. Builds the brain, the spirit etc. But without opportunity to put skill into practice, I fear we lose students to the belief that music learning is not a practical skill. Young kids need to perform using their skills they are learning in music that empower THEM as makers of music. We discuss the building blocks to establishing musicality, musicianship, and music literacy in the elementary music classroom (incorporating how musicianship and literacy are addressed in Orff-Schulwerk and Kodaly-inspired lessons). We also touch the tricky topic of transfer of skills into Middle and High School ensembles. It’s tricky because it can’t really be separated from the reality of recruiting and the concept of “the feeder program.” Choralosophy presented by Ludus.
