Choral & Classroom Teaching Solutions for Every Scenario
By now, you likely know what your back-to-school plan is (at least until the next round of guidelines are announced), or you’ve already started back and testing the waters of your new teaching reality this school year. Whether you’re back in person, fully remote, or somewhere in-between (hybrid or even on a cart!), there are all kinds of solutions to help meet your needs—from resource books, to interactive slides, to rhythm and body percussion activities, games and puzzles, and articles with tips and advice—we are here to help. We will continue to add resources to these lists as they become available.
