Webinar: Sight Reading Factory for Choral Rehearsal & Assessment
Last night, MusicFirst hosted a wonderful webinar on how to use Sight Reading Factory in the choral classroom led by Jeremy Little, a music educator who has presented at numerous school districts, conferences, workshops, and universities in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. He teaches at Vernon Hills H.S. and at Milwaukee Lutheran H.S. and holds degrees from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He has been the guest conductor for festivals across Lake County, the ILMEA District VII Junior High Honors chorus, and conducted his own choral and orchestral students in the world-premiere of Robert Convery's "Working Girls" at the 2013 Illinois Music Education Conference.
Academically, he is involved in teaching the Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance model (www.ilcmp.org) to music educators across this state and has had contributed chapters in two recent publications: "Feedback: The Hinge that Joins Teaching and Learning" by Jane E. Pollock, and "The Power of the Social Brain: Teaching, Learning and Interdependent Thinking" edited by Arthur Costa and Pat Wilson-O'Leary. His recent article "Plant, Water, and Harvest: How Younger Students and Emerging Student-Teachers Think and Grow" was recently featured in ChorTeach, the ACDA's National Online Publication.
Jeremy is a MusicFirst Ambassador and appeared on my podcast - S3 E8. Have a listen below..
