Springboard Plan: Choir
 General Guidelines for Instruction
What do we need to do to operate choir classrooms following the State Public &
Safety Guidelines?
• Choir standards consist of more than performance standards- there
  are many standards that may still be addressed while staying within
  the guidelines in a Face-to-Face model.
        • Building foundational music reading skills, including syntax, rhythm, melody and
        harmony
        • Encouraging musical exploration and creativity through improvisation and composition
        • Empowering students to appreciate and understand the historical, cultural and societal
        impact of vocal and choral music upon diverse communities of people
        • Understanding the relationship of choir within the wider realm of music education,
        and as an essential arm of interdisciplinary fine arts
        • Incorporating culturally-responsive platforms for teaching and learning”
• Face-to-Face instruction supports the at-home portion
    • Online platform specific to music
• At-home learning supports the performance standards not able to be
  addressed while complying with guidance (wearing of masks, singing,
  etc.)
