Art & Science in the Choral Rehearsal
Oxford University Press (Oxford, England, 2020)
Art and Science in the Choral Rehearsal draws from
a range of scientific studies to suggest and encourage
effective, evidence-based techniques, and can help serve
to reset and inspire new approaches toward teaching.
Each chapter outlines exercises and creative ideas for
conductors and music teachers, including the importance
of embedding problem solving into rehearsal, the use of
multiple entry points for newly acquired information,
techniques to encourage an emotional connection to the
music, and ways to incorporate writing exercises into
rehearsal. Additional topics include brain-compatible
teaching strategies to complement thorough score study,
the science behind motivation, the role imagination plays
in teaching, the psychology of rehearsal, and conducting
tips and advice. All of these brain-friendly strategies serve
to encourage singers' active participation in rehearsals,
with the goal of motivating beautiful, inspired, and
memorable performances.
