As the landscape of choral education changes - disrupted by Glee,
YouTube, and increasingly cheap audio production software -
teachers of choral conducting need current research in the field
that charts scholarly paths through contemporary debates and sets
an agenda for new critical thought and practice. Where, in the
digitizing world, is the field of choral pedagogy moving? Editor
Frank Abrahams and Paul D. Head, both experienced choral conductors
and teachers, offer here a comprehensive handbook of
newly-commissioned chapters that provide key scholarly-critical
perspectives on teaching and learning in the field of choral music,
written by academic scholars and researchers in tandem with active
choral conductors. As chapters in this book demonstrate, choral
pedagogy encompasses everything from conductors' gestures to the
administrative management of the choir. The contributors to The
Oxford Handbook of Choral Pedagogy address the full range of issues
in contemporary choral pedagogy, from repertoire to voice science
to the social and political aspects of choral singing. They also
cover the construction of a choral singer's personal identity, the
gendering of choral ensembles, social justice in choral education,
and the role of the choral art in society more generally. Included
scholarship focuses on both the United States and international
perspectives in five sections that address traditional paradigms of
the field and challenges to them; critical case studies on teaching
and conducting specific populations (such as international, school,
or barbershop choirs); the pedagogical functions of repertoire;
teaching as a way to construct identity; and new scholarly
methodologies in pedagogy and the voice.
