- Middle School Singers: Turning Their Energy Into Wonderful Choirs! DVD (5745)
This extraordinary DVD is packed with ideas and techniques especially for middle school and junior high choral directors, or for choral music education students. Filmed both during a convention appearance and in a classroom, Dr. Russell Robinson (along with a demonstration choir from Eisenhower Middle School, FL) shows us new and tried-and-true ways to make young and developing singers look and sound better. Learn how to take your singers' energy and put it to great use!
- Jazz Style and Improvisation for Choirs DVD (5476)
Russell Robinson, Head of Music Education at the University of Florida, takes your choir on an interactive, step-by-step journey into scat and improvisation. Using a demonstration choir, he introduces a technique, let's us hear it, sing it, and add to what we learned before. Beginning with the simple blues chords, we add scat syllables, use 3 notes to improvise, do some call-and-response, trade fours, and put it all together. 10 segments with an intro and conclusion. Simple enough for upper elementary and up.
