[HANASHIR:2263] challenging musical illiteracy in our choirs

[Erik L. F. Contzius <contzius...>]

I have been using a wonderful resource & thought i would share it with
y'all. The description below says it all and, best of all, it works! (man,
i wish i got commissions for things like this...). Basically, the following
system is a collection of 5 minute lessons on ready to photocopy (all
legally, i might add!) sheets. it's really great! the same company (pavane
publishing) also has a series on choral conducting and managing a choir
from rehearsal to performance. if you have any questions about the system,
please email me privately.

Resource Material
Advance Vol I, Names
Petker, A.R./Reid, T.
Teaching Manual/book

Who can deny that singers are often guilty of music illiteracy, or the need
for a solution that is affordable and accessible? Now, all the material for
teacher and choir is provided, and can be copied year after year for only a
one-time purchase. Better yet, all lessons are only 5 minutes long, and can
easily be incorporated into any rehearsal. Volume 1 concentrates on name of
lines, spaces, and notes, and volume 2 deals with rhythm. Both volumes in
the series offer student lessons, a teacher's  manual
