Across the Institution

Pedagogical Approaches, Musical Considerations, and Recruiting Students from All Majors

The National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO) invites applications for panel members at the 2021 National Conference. The topic is Across the Institution: Pedagogical Approaches, Musical Considerations, and Recruiting Students from All Majors.

In many colleges and universities, students majoring in a subject other than music form a majority of the students with whom choral music faculty engage. Many such students enter our programs with varied musical backgrounds, some being wholly new to choral music. What unique educational and musical considerations are helpful in these settings? How can we as educators better serve the needs of students whose academic interests are in areas outside of music? What strategies are most useful in recruiting students from all majors for our choral programs?

The 75 minute session will include 50 minutes of panel discussion and 25 minutes of breakout time, as the panel decides is best, and will include approximately three to four panelists from the National Collegiate Choral Organization. The goal of the session is to foster dialogue and discussion between panelists and attendees. One of the selected applicants may be asked to serve as moderator for the panel.
