Music Metamorphosis: Resculpting a Score
Friday March 28, 2025 11:30am - 12:25pm EDT
Majestic Ballroom 5
“Music Metamorphosis”, attendees will learn strategies to critically analyze scores written in-house and how they can collaborate to tweak and evolve the music. A cappella arrangers work diligently to put together a score perfect for their group. That said, sometimes the music on paper does not hit as imagined once it is being sung in rehearsal. Back to the drawing board? No! Let’s make the adjustments needed WITH your singers! In this rehearsal simulation, singers will be given an arrangement to sing. Participants will identify moments of opportunity within the sheet music - whether it is dynamics, syllables, harmony, or more - that will make the music that much more impactful.

Ensemble Leadership: Leveraging Strengths Beyond the Sheet Music
Saturday March 29, 2025 9:30am - 10:25am EDT
Majestic Ballroom 5
“Ensemble Leadership” utilizes theories of ‘courageous followership’ (I. Chaleff) and understanding individual strengths non-directing members have and can contribute during rehearsal. Through a rehearsal simulation, singers will learn strategies in how they can more deeply engage in the learning process that will contribute to group sound, morale, and even make rehearsal more efficient. Not only will current and aspirational music directors expand their pedagogical toolkit on facilitating rehearsals, but members in non-directing roles will be empowered to ensure group success.

Is there a cappella in the telematic embrace? Can we bridge the dichotomy between traditional contemporary a cappella practice and "the computer"? In this class, Mel will discuss the role of technology in contemporary vocal music and a cappella. We will listen to examples, dive into an a cappella studio session and review beginning key concepts of post-production. Bring any questions you may have about vocal production, music technology, and/or the business of recording.
