2026 Maine Music Educators Association Conference

This session gives teachers easy yet effective ways to assess individual student progress in their choral classroom. I hope teachers take away practices for rehearsals and performances that allow students to learn at their own pace, make improvements, and show audiences that there is more to a performance than simply notes on a page.

Key learning outcomes from this presentation include individual assessment strategies for the choral classroom, rehearsal techniques to maximize choral performance, and methods to approach outside learning opportunities.

Discussion topics will include student-led rehearsals, ensemble seating, riser placement, success at adjudicated festivals, and individual student assessment.
