018. Must Have iOS Apps for the Choir Director

01/23/21 • 29 min

If you've listened to the podcast at all, you can probably tell--I'm an iOS guy. I've had an iPhone for several years, I love my MacBook Pro, and I am excitedly waiting for my new iPad Air to arrive. I really don't know what I would do without these tools at my disposal!
And along with that, there are a number of iOS apps on both my iPhone and iPad that I have found invaluable, both in my work as a choir director, as well as my day-to-day productivity. So in today's episode I list what I think are "must have" iOS apps for the choir director. I won't waste time with some of the obvious ones, like Google Apps, GarageBand or other Apple apps. You may recognize some of the other apps, but I think you will enjoy hearing about why/how I use these different apps. Hopefully you can find in this episode a few more tech tools for your toolbox!

019. Nine Resources That You May Not Have Heard Of to Find Great Choir Repertoire

I've been seeing all types of questions lately about finding choir repertoire; directors looking for specific pieces, or repertoire for specific ensembles, or just questions where to look for repertoire.
So in today’s episode, I’m discussing nine resources that you might not have heard of to find great choir repertoire. If you are looking for fresh, engaging repertoire that your singers and your audiences will enjoy, then this episode is for you.
Many of these sites are what I call “composer-friendly”; where they started as websites that were created to help composers get their music “out there”. These websites often offer example performance recordings and e-print options; depending on the website/composer/piece, you can even find some that offer a set fee for a license to print as many copies as you need. And with the increase in virtual choir projects, many of these sites have specific information in regards to licensing.
Happy repertoire hunting!
