Teaching Strategy Utilized: Day 1: Divide the choir into three independent parts. Discuss how to read the music including the Soprano I and II sharing a line and Alto reading the bottom line. Read the text and discuss how it is different/same as the original recording. Sightread the piece of music. Day 2: Review the divided parts and how to read the music. Read the text aloud and discuss syncopation. Locate places in the song where syncopation occurs such as mm. 45. Have students notice mm. 53 and the division of parts that occur there. Day 3: Practice harmonizing between the Sopranos I and II then add the altos. Day 4: Large group evaluation. Day 5: Locate expressive elements and discuss how the group will perform and practice. Day 6: Have students break into small groups and review the music. Day 7: Small group evaluation Day 8: Practice with the recorded accompaniment.
