I am really trying to embrace ChatGPT, and other AI tools, partially because I don’t want my students cheating, but really because we all need to prepare for how AI will impact our future. So, I try to instill not just concepts but critical thinking and life skills into every lesson. Hopefully students will then better know what to ask when they do choose to use AI – or at least they will think about it.

Thank you for taking time to read the October issue of the Choral Journal which focused on Advocacy and Collaboration. We have loved hearing how the content inspired, motivated, or encouraged you. This month’s blog post is a direct response to the “Share Your Story” project and we can’t wait for you to hear about it. These stories are intended to spark ideas and build community as we celebrate the awesome work our colleagues and friends are doing around the country.

Hello choral colleagues! We’ve been “teasing” the release of our Advocacy and Collaboration focus issue in the Choral Journal all summer and are thrilled you now have them in your mailboxes (and online)! For this month’s blog post, we wanted to share a little about where the focus issue’s structure came from and a little history of our committee. Please keep in mind there are openings to join the team – applications are open until mid November.

Anyone else feel that “New Year’s Eve Vibe” at the start of the school year? I absolutely love that feeling of a fresh start, new classes, new singers, returning faces, and routine! While we must acknowledge it can also be a time of anxiety and overwhelm, this blog post seeks to address what to do with all that potential excitement and start-up energy.
