About the Instructor

Hi, I'm Adam, founder of Choral Clarity. I am a passionate choral director who believes classroom management is the key to running effective rehearsals. Not only do I believe this with every ounce of my being, but I have more than 20 years of experience teaching choir rules to everyone who walks into my classroom.

As a high school choral director for more than two decades, I have accepted all singers, regardless of skill level, and placed them into the same ensemble. Students need an environment that is conducive to all learners. This can only happen when we develop the right culture for our students.

Over the past two decades, I have modernized my approach to Classroom Management. This approach no longer uses "Rules", "Consequences", and "Rewards". We live in a world where we want our students to feel safe, supported, and guided.

Your singers aren't inherently disruptive. If you are reading this, I know you believe this too. This choir prep course for choir teachers is to help you properly prepare for the 1st Day of Choir and every day beyond!

The Choir Crash Course: 1st Day Choir Prep will revolutionize the way your daily rehearsals run. They will improve your effectiveness and efficiency. Your singers will be more engaged and confident.

When you understand the philosophy embedded into this choir prep course and implement the techniques, you will see a tremendous change in all aspects of your choir. I will guarantee it!

After gaining an understanding of the common myths, we will build a healthy foundation so you can have your most successful year as a choral director. Here is a brief overview of the course flow:

01

Introduction to Course & Myth Busting

In the first video, after I introduce myself, I'm going to get you to remember why you were so excited to become a choral director. We are going to dream together and realize what could be. I will give you a simple exercise to help you envision your future success.

In the second video, I will debunk 3 big myths that too many choir directors believe and have, in turn, created their own downfall. I will also share with you the 11 common mistakes teachers make on the very first day! These are costly errors.

Once you are properly prepared, you will be creating a handbook for your class. I will be providing the handbook outline for you as an editable document. You will be cutting and pasting your new information right into the handbook!

Next, you will learn EXACTLY how to plan for the first day, how to run the first rehearsal from start to finish, and how to run rehearsals for the first few weeks of class. This is comprised of 10 mainly short but thorough videos and an equal amount downloadable resources that will save you so much time and GUARANTEE your effectiveness in the classroom!

More About Adam Paltrowitz

Your Image
Your Image

I have been a public school teacher for more than two decades with over 20 years at the secondary level. I believe that every student can learn to sing. As a result, I run a self-selected choral program where students are not separated based on talent/skill level. This has lead to a highly-successful program where all students view themselves as soloists and develop a sense of self in their singing. This begins with positive learning environment and the ability for each singer to match pitch.

I am also the founder of Choral Clarity, the popular website that consists of 150+ useful blogs and 150+ original choir resources that are available for instant download. I am in the business of inspiring others. My blog, resources, and original choral works have been used at primary, secondary, college, and community choirs around the world. I earned a B.S. from New York University and a M.A. and Ed.M. from Columbia University - Teacher's College.

I am married to Blair Goldberg, a Broadway Actress, and have two children, Lyla and Nolan. We live just outside of New York City in the beautiful town of Port Washington.

I look forward to seeing you in class!

Sincerely,

Adam
