Choral Artistry provides a practical and organic approach to
teaching choral singing and sight-reading. The text is grounded in
current research from the fields of choral pedagogy, music theory,
music perception and cognition. Topics include framing a choral
curriculum based on the Kodaly concept; launching the academic year
for beginning, intermediate, and advanced choirs; building partwork
skills; sight-reading; progressive music theory sequences for
middle to college level choirs; teaching strategies; choral
rehearsal plans as well as samples of how to teach specific
repertoire from medieval to contemporary choral composers. As part
of the Kodaly philosophy's practical approach, authors Micheal
Houlahan and Philip Tacka employ two models for learning choral
literature: Performance Through Sound Analysis Pedagogy (PTSA) and
Performance through Sound Analysis and Notation (PTSAN). Both
models delineate an approach to teaching a choral work that
significantly improves students' musicianship while engaging the
ensemble in learning the overall composition in partnership with
the conductor. The final chapter of the book includes rubrics to
assess the effectiveness of a choral program. This book does not
purport to be a comprehensive choral pedagogy text. It is a
detailed guide to helping choral directors at all levels improve
the choral singing and musicianship of their students from a Kodaly
perspective.
