This book will cover rehearsal techniques, conducting, development of choral tone, selection of music, diction, administration of choral programs as well as junior high and middle school concerns, and will provide strategies for comprehensive, aesthetic education through choral music.

The intent of this study was to demonstrate a way of integrating comprehensive musicianship into high school choral rehearsals quickly and easily. Three sub problems were derived: What principles of comprehensive musicianship should be taught? How can they be taught? How can performance demands be balanced with comprehensive musicianship pedagogy?

This comprehensive resource offers a wealth of tools and techniques for administering junior and senior high school choruses, conducting the choral score, developing students' choral musicianship, and planning successful rehearsals and performances.
