The Sound of Ages Approach

"It's ... really helpful to not just have a conductor/clinician come in and work with the choir, but to have singers run a sectional with them and teach them what it's like to sing [their] part."
—Kenny Wiser, Provo High School

We spread our passion for choral music and our distinctive technique through The Sound of Ages Approach, our core educational offering for college, high school, and community ensembles. We provide three types of engagement with our music director and professional singers:

• Clinics and Workshops

• Side-by-Side Concerts

• Masterclasses

Through these fully customized and systematic interactions, students learn how to approach choral music through consort singing, especially informed by early music.

As a result, participants develop:

• A fuller, cleaner choral singing tone

• New levels of responsibility and confidence related to ensemble singing

• New levels of musical awareness and skill

"The [Sound of Ages Approach] clinic with my Chamber Singers was very effective! I feel my students were engaged and captivated by being able to work in smaller groups with experienced singers, and they continue to talk about the concepts that we learned even several weeks after our clinic. Through the clinic, my students also gained a greater appreciation for music from the Renaissance and they have a much better approach in learning and performing it after working with SOA."
