Guess what? We released "Teaching Students to Integrate Singing and Expression" this week! It's for choral and musical theater students... check it out!

We will be releasing a new free (for a limited time) resource soon too (maybe in the next few days). This podcast discusses the topic for the resource which is audiences and their impact on student performers. Let's examine what is happening and how this new release is going to help it.

We just wanted to clarify on what is getting released the next few months, as there was a little change of plans. The big K-8 curriculum project is getting expanded, so it will be taking longer than expected (all good things for you).

In the meantime, we also promised a singing and expression course, which will be released by the end of August! THAT was also promised a few months ago, so that one is coming to the Uplevel U: Music catalog first.

Many of our music teachers out there are general music teachers. It's time that they get more assistance from Uplevel U: Music. In this quick little check-in episode, Kay discusses a little bit about her time teaching K-8 general music and how little assistance she had to get things started- including no curriculum. It happens, but it shouldn't happen to any teacher. Let's discuss!

What is Critical Listening? Critical listening skills are the skills students (and people) should be using to actively listen to a piece of music and pick it apart into components. In this episode, we begin to dig into what it means to critically listen to something, and how you, as the music teacher, is responsible for helping guide students into that ability.

Using Uplevel U: Music's newly released "Critical Listening for the General Music Classroom" resource, it has never been easier to help students attain this skill and for you to enjoy their journey.

First, big apologies for the break. There were definitely some extenuating circumstances. The last few weeks have taught me some serious life lessons, and I want to share that with you in this episode, from the point of view of the busy teacher.

This content really wasn't what I had in mind, obviously, as you will understand, but the message and the three life lessons I'll be speaking about I hope will inspire you to do the same when life throws you curveballs.

Today's episode focuses a little bit on the dire circumstance of vocal health in today's students. Like many other health issues, it's easy to say that children are a little immortal, or that "it won't happen to them" or that it is likely to only happen to the singers that tour, rehearse and practice for hours a day.

But that isn't true.

Isn't that what happens during the last few weeks of the musical? Aren't students singing for hours each day?

Voice issues and vocal nodes are issues that can happen to anyone, and it's our responsibility as music teachers to help students sing safely and pain-free, and to help them understand what that all means.

Special Announcement! ⁠How to Teach Your Students to Use Fakebooks and Lead Sheets has been released as another one of our Free or Low-Cost Resources.

Today I take you through what it's all about, why it is a helpful resource for teachers to have and what possibilities it opens up for students to create.

Now that this resource has been released, the focus is now set on our next course which will focus on vocal tone development, vocal health and other vocal/choral techniques for the singers you teach. The approach that makes this different is that this is aimed toward the teacher that did not have as much vocal training themselves, or that do not feel as confident teaching voice and tone development as they wish they had, especially since teaching a topic you cannot see, and can barely feel is just so subjective! This course will break into that and give you what you need to become confident with teaching voice.
