CONVENTION HEADLINER SESSIONS
Dr. Kevin Fenton (Florida State University)
Sessions 1 and 2: Conductor and Choir: Creating a Collective Story
This session will describe an approach to the rehearsal process that emphasizes the creation of a collective story related to music being prepared specifically and related to the identity of the group internally and externally. Those in attendance will work as members of the choir to develop behaviors of a story teller, and a sense of purpose as a choral ensemble. The first session will focus on teaching techniques for expression (Storytelling) and the second session will focus on facilitating the collective story through gesture.
Dr. Ysaye Barnwell (Composer, Conductor, and Founder Sweet Honey in the Rock)

This session will explore an African world view of music as an introduction to oral/aural tradition in music
Session 2: LEARNING AND SINGING IN AN ORAL/AURAL TRADITION.
This session will focus on rhythms, chant, spirituals, and other musical forms that will be taught and learned in oral/aural tradition.
