Today was our last 5th/6th Chorus rehearsal of the year, so I had my students reflect on our year and then we picked out music for next year. I am working on building my 5th/6th grade chorus, so I am trying my best to build interest. My goal is to balance traditional choir selections with popular selections (which my students are interested in). I feel like singing popular music breaks an unwritten rule of teaching choir, but I also realize that students need to be interested in the material in order for them to work on it. These are the songs my students have selected.
