2015 Workshop Talk | 1:05:33 | All Grade Levels, Art & Music
Summary
Singing is the basis of a good general music program, which can lead naturally into an excellent choral program. This workshop will demonstrate what makes up a good secondary-level music department, as well as how the elementary music specialist and classroom teacher can not only provide the necessary musical foundation for this, but also produce beautiful, complex music of their own. Materials, important resources, and many concrete and audible examples will be provided.
Speaker
Sally Mehler is the high school and middle school choir director as well as general music teacher for grades 6_12 at Veritas School in Newberg, Oregon, where she has taught since 1998. Her BA in music and MST degree in education were earned at the University of California in Santa Barbara, and her Kodaly Levels I-III certificates are from Portland State University. Although the Veritas Concert Choir is an award- winning group under SallyÍs direction, her main goal as a music teacher is to encourage students toward a lifelong enjoyment of music. Sally is married to poet David Mehler. Three of their five children are graduates of Veritas School, and two are current students.
