This episode in 2019 is the most downloaded Choir Baton Podcast Episode ever. And I get it. This time of year is insane.
But last year it wasn’t. Or if it was crazy for you, chances are it wasn’t because you were in a million different performances - you were probably dealing with the pandemic in your own way and with your own family stuff.
Did you promise yourself last year that you wouldn’t let your life get too stressful again? And yet find yourself stressed again?
You are not alone. And here are several tips and reminders I want to share with you to remind you it doesn’t have to be the most stressful time of the year.

Burnout is real. In this episode, I encourage you to do less. There is always more we can do as choral musicians and directors. But in order to be able to continue doing what we do, we need to cut down on overloading ourselves.

Jenna and discuss the importance of having "choir and ____." As choir teachers, we can get caught up in our work and it become the only thing we do. However, we all have many gifts and abilities. We talk about some different ways to incorporate those in school or outside of the classroom.If you’re watching this on YouTube, don’t forget to subscribe, like this video, and let us know what resonated with you from this episode - and if you’re listening to this podcast - be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already and leave us some 5 star choir love in the reviews.

Jessica Grant and I discuss common themes that I think most, if not all, music teachers can relate to. Amongst other topics we discuss the feeling of belonging and that you are enough and how we can communicate these things to ourselves as well as our students. We also discuss what it means to measure achievement by growth rather than specific goals.
You can find Jessica on Instagram @highafternoonti and buy her book on F Flat or Amazon.

I had three profound conversations about leadership over the past week and I couldn't not share them with the Choir Baton community. I think we are all familiar with the problem of taking on too many projects and staying busy, as teachers or as musicians. This episode is for you to let you know three important lessons that I learned this week and am still learning on how to be a stronger leader.

Marshall Butler has impacted many student's lives over his years teaching. In this interview, we talk about the teamwork aspect of choir as well as many other important topics and memories from his years teaching. This interview is especially meaningful to me because Mr. Butler taught for 24 years at Sanderson and left shortly before I took the position at Sanderson High School.
Since March, Dr. Marshall Butler, Jr. has been engraving/transcribing Classical Voice and Piano Music of African American Classical Composers for the University of Michigan School of Music (to be placed in Vocal Anthologies). He is a retired choral music teacher- Wake County and Nash-Rocky Mount formerly Rocky Mount City Schools. He worked a year at North Raleigh Christian Academy following retirement. Mr. Butler studied at Winston Salem State University with phenomenal choir director and music composer- Robert L. Morris. He was inspired to study music by amazing former high school music teacher - Gene Yeargin.
If you have questions for Marshall, you can contact him at [email protected]

Today I am joined by my former co-worker and dear friend, Mr. Alexander Alberti. We cover a variety of different areas in this podcast but one that stuck out to me in particular was this idea of "breaking the cycle of expectations" in teaching music the way it has always been taught. We have so many resources at our disposal, we should take advantage of technology, community members, and our students' interests when we are teaching.
Alex Alberti is the current Director of Instrumental Music at Longleaf School of the Arts in Raleigh, North Carolina. Alberti is an eighth-year music educator with experience in band, chorus, orchestra, music theory, music psychology, and contemporary a cappella. Alberti recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Master's degree in Music Education and graduate certification in Nonprofit Management.
In addition to his positions in schools of music, Alberti is active in a number of independent music organizations. Alberti currently serves as the Artistic Director of the Triangle Pride Band, an LGBTQ+-affirming community band organization. Additionally, Alberti is an intern from both the College Music Society and NAMM, assisting with conference activities and marketing.

This episode is a sequel episode to 26. It's the Most Wonderfully Stressful Time of the Year. In a year without concerts, gigs, and performances to plan, rehearse for, and execute, we do not have the same stressors as usual. However, we have had plenty of other struggles through the year and especially this season. You may have found yourself comparing your program to others more frequently because of the increase in social media during this time and may be feeling insufficient or envious of what you were unable to do. I am here to remind you that you are enough. You have worked hard. You are appreciated. Do not give up.

In this conversation we talk about participatory culture and how it relates to adjustments and rethinking the music curriculum.
Evan Tobias is Associate Professor of Music Learning and Teaching at Arizona State University where he heads the Consortium for Innovation and Transformation in Music Education citme.asu.edu. He is also Director of ArtsWork: The Kax Herberger Center for Children and the Arts, which forwards arts and design programming, education, and research in relation to young people. Evan's teaching, creative work, and research are animated by the question: How might we make a positive impact on society through musical engagement, learning, and inquiry? At times of rapid change, even open-minded music educators can feel stuck or seek guidance for adjusting the status quo. Evan helps people imagine possibilities for music learning and teaching so they can update, expand, or transform music programs to better support young people and make a positive impact in the world.
You can learn more about his work at evantobias.net or citme.asu.edu and connect with him on Twitter or Instagram @etobias_musiced.

After a life changing performance experience watching the Dallas Street Choir sing at national ACDA conference a couple years ago, I have the honor of interviewing Dr. Jonathan Palant, the conductor. Listen to hear his perspective on inequality in music and making a community space for singing.
Jonathan Palant is Associate Professor and Director of Choral Activities at the University of Texas at Dallas and is founder and conductor of both Credo, a 140-member community choir, and the Dallas Street Choir, a musical outlet for those experiencing homelessness and disadvantage. In addition, Dr. Palant is Director of Music at Kessler Park United Methodist Church and is employed by the Dallas Independent School District to mentor middle and high school vocal music teachers.
In June 2016, Dr. Palant made his Carnegie Hall conducting debut performing with renowned artists Frederica von Stade, Harolyn Blackwell, Jake Heggie, and Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz.
From 2007-2011, he served as Artistic Director of Dallas’ Turtle Creek Chorale. Prior to that, Palant held collegiate teaching positions at Western Kentucky University and Madonna University, Livonia, Michigan. He taught secondary choral music at University School, an all-boys independent school in Cleveland, Ohio, and San Pasqual High School in Escondido, California.
Dr. Palant currently serves as president of the National Alliance for Music In Vulnerable Communities, Community Choir Repertoire and Standards Chair for the Southwest American Choral Directors Association (SWACDA), and sits on the board of directors of the Intercollegiate Men’s Choruses. He has also served on the state board of the Michigan chapter of the American Choral Directors Association and Youth First Texas where he was founder and conductor of Dallas PUMP!, a choir serving at-risk youth.
In late 2017, the Dallas Morning News named Palant one of nine “Texan of the Year” finalists, and in 2016, Musical America named him one of their “Innovators of the Year” for establishing the Dallas Street Choir.
Both Palant’s book, Brothers, Sing On! Conducting the Tenor-Bass Choir, and his Brothers, Sing On! Choral Series are published by the Hal Leonard Corporation.
Dr. Palant holds degrees from Michigan State University, Temple University and the University of Michigan.
