When I taught it during the day it was a planned, regular class and I alway=
s left plans for a sub. After concerts we would watch our performance vi=
deo, have a fun day and the get back to singing. If there was a holiday =
we would sing holiday songs. If it was some other time we might do some =
pop stuff or things from MK8 and Music Express. We would do more singing=
games and sight reading activities and we would have song choice day. O=
n song choice day I would use the Get America Singing books. Someone pic=
ks a song, we all sing it with the piano, then they would pick the next per=
son to pick and so on. Some days we would get through the whole group!

Subject: [MK8] question for elementary chorus teachers
=
Seasons Greetings!
I have a question for all elementary, in-school chorus teachers.
I have always (for 16 years) taught chorus after school. This year, howe=
ver, my VERY small district has gone to 1 bus run per day for all K-12 stud=
ents, thus getting rid of after school events. Long story short: now cho=
rus is during the day. This has brought up issues I have not previously =
given thought to!
How do you in-school chorus teachers handle canceling chorus? Is chorus =
ever cancelled? Do your subs teach chorus? And do you still have chor=
us even after your concerts are over?
Many thanks for your input!
