About
Through the expertise of outstanding middle-level choral directors and practical research, Finding Middle Ground offers choral music educators tried-and-true warm-ups, rehearsal techniques, recruitment and retention strategies, and repertoire selections catering to the specific needs of middle school treble, tenor-bass, and mixed choirs. Those who teach adolescents know the only constant is change and that practically nothing is immune to it. Students and schools are changing rapidly, leaving choral directors searching for solutions to adapt choral programs accordingly. Finding Middle Ground with your students and within your choral program can be the key not only to surviving, but thriving!
