🎼PLAYFUL PEDAGOGY: "Drawing on our own teaching experience as well as extant research, in this article we explore the pedagogical benefits of incorporating elementary general music strategies in secondary choral classrooms. By examining the ways in which play-based instruction supports vocal development, musical skills, and ensemble cohesion, we aim to provide practical, research-supported strategies for choral educators seeking to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. We suggest that by adopting a more immersive and interactive rehearsal approach, secondary choir directors can improve both musicianship and long-term student investment in choral singing." acda.org/choraljournal // The Choral Journal is a membership benefit of ACDA.
