INTEREST SESSION 5

Hidden Gems in Plain Sight: Sight-Singing Help For Young Choirs. Mandy Clegg – Chandler Children’s Choir

Sight singing is the gateway to developing confident, successful, and smart singers and ensembles! In this session, Mandy will offer easily accessible resources that can be used daily in the choral rehearsal to build confident, reading singers. She will offer simple strategies, that if employed consistently, will help your choir to sight read as a group and as individuals in audition settings.

Mandy has recently joined the Chandler Children’s Choir as the director of the Junior and Encore Choirs and sings with the Sonoran Desert Chorale. She was previously the choir director at Benjamin Franklin High School where she taught grades 7 through 12. Mandy now stays at home with her children Ruby and Henry and maintains a private voice and piano studio. She is passionate about teaching singers to be literate and believes that singing and music give you a beautiful heart.
