[HANASHIR:11077] Re: songleader training

[Les Goldsmith <lesgoldsmith...>]

This will be third year that I am bringing some of our songleader "aides" to 
HN. They are all high school students. And while I agree, Rachelle, that Hava 
Nashira  MAY be an overwhelmingly adult experience, my "kids" have not found it 
so. There have been a few other high schoolers, and everyone has been very 
welcoming to them. Each of these kids has come back incredibly psyched, 
motivated and more committed to and educated about Jewish music and 
songleading. One of these "kids", Elana Sondel, is now in college, a songleader 
in her own right, and she's coming back again. Is there a better time than the 
teenage years to capture and build upon such enthusiasm??

  Can anyone tell me what kind of training might be available for young song 
leaders (14-18) just starting out?  HN may seem a bit overwhelmingly adult for 
a younger teen.  I am thinking of someone with a huge repertoire who might 
benefit from some help learning to teach and lead.
  Thanks,
