If we're being honest:

Planning engaging, intentional, musical rehearsals for your children's choir, week in and week out, can be challenging.

From finding relevant, *high-quality* resources to choosing developmentally-appropriate songs and anthems to preparing, introducing, and properly sequencing new musical concepts and skills throughout the year, the job can seem *overwhelming* at times.

Where do you find music and materials?
How do you develop musicianship in young singers?
What makes a rehearsal fun and productive?

Imagine if you could learn how to lead and teach creatively and confidently and had all the tools and resources you needed, right at your fingertips.

You'd spend more time *enjoying* rehearsals and watching your young singers learn and grow and less time feeling like you didn't get to everything you'd hoped. Your teaching time would be more intentional and streamlined and you'd feel more confident in your leadership skills and ability to teach effectively.
