CSI: Choral Score Investigation – Helping Singers use the Evidence on the Page The rehearsal process can become mechanical and repetitive for singers and conductors alike when the only priority is ensuring correct pitches and rhythms.

KELLY MCFADZEN Strand: Visual Arts R403

Finding the Artist in Every Child Whether it is the shy student who rarely speaks, the class clown who hides his insecurities, or the support student who struggles in every class, they all have something to say. I believe that there is an artist in every child and the power of finding that artistic voice can be life changing. Nothing has taught me this lesson more than having a student who is quadriplegic and seeing her go from the student sitting on the sidelines to a student who ‘dances’ through her art. Please join in my journey to Finding the Artist in Every Child. It is an adventure that has change my life and will inspire you to find the artists in your students.
