Musical selection for concerts can be one of the most exciting, yet time consuming parts of being a music teacher. There are a lot of things that go into the planning process. The teacher needs to live up to school standards, as well as pick music that students can enjoy being a part of.

"When I pick music for concerts, I first make sure I pick my pieces based on the approval of the administration. I do not want to go over their heads because having their support is imperative. Next, I want to have songs available to my students that they will love because we will be practicing them for awhile."

I choose from three genres of music: 1) A language piece 2) spiritual 3) Madrigal or a fun piece.
Marcie's Feedback
Nice! Why do you choose music from these genres in particular? Are there any other considerations that come into play when you make your decision? And can you include an example of a time when you chose music for a concert and discuss why your selections were good ones?
