The Department of Music will host two Music Education Lightning Talks with Jessica L. G. Steuver and Andy Novak Friday, Dec. 1, from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Harkness Chapel.
Jessica L. G. Steuver, she/her, is a PhD Choral Music Education Student at CWRU. Her Lightning Talk will explore the process of creating a multi-tiered assessment plan for non-auditioned ensembles, which often contain a plethora of skill and experience levels. This program was piloted last semester with CWRU’s University Chorale, the non-auditioned treble choir conducted by Jessica.
Andy Novak is in his third year as a part time MA student at CWRU. He is a vocal music teacher for Bay Village City Schools. For his lighting talk, Andy will be discussing sight-singing assessment strategies for middle school and high school choirs.
