Directors Seminar 2016
Sweet Adelines International is always offering continued education so the members of Crosstown Harmony were happy to send our director to the 2016 Directors Seminar. It was an exciting and intensive two-day educational event for frontline directors. On Friday, the curriculum featured a full day of rotating level workshops, in which each faculty member each taught one topic, rotating through each chorus level during the day. That meant all levels received equal time with each of the amazing faculty! On the second full day of open sessions, guest faculty Dr. Jim Henry, along with a roster of world-class Sweet Adelines teaching faculty, shared their knowledge and expertise on topics ranging from conducting to kinesthetics, to expressive singing and effective interpretive plans. Classes on riser placement and Open Division were taught with the help of the fabulous New Orleans-based Crescent City Sound Chorus! Kari says she came away from the experience with a new set of tools and techniques, equipping her to be the best director she can be!
