    Choirwire | Episode 10 - Beyond the Notes: Teaching Expressive Singing in Every Rehearsal

    Send us a text This episode explores how choral educators can teach expressive singing as a daily practice—not just a final polish. It offers practical strategies like lyric mapping, metaphor-based prompts (“sing it like you’re telling a secret”), mirror work, and emotional check-ins to help students connect deeply with the music. The episode emphasizes building a rehearsal culture where vulnerability is safe, emotional risks are celebrated, and tone becomes a vehicle for storytelling. Listeners are challenged to apply one strategy in rehearsal and reflect on its impact. Featuring special guest, Jorge Valls! Support the show FREE Choirwire Resource Folder: CLICK HERE
