Session 1: Debbie O’Shea is an enthusiastic,
experienced educator who wants to help conductors with repertoire choice and
keeping students actively engaged in rehearsals. In this session, Debbie will
delve into a bag of tricks, some learned on her recent visit to the UK and the
USA, as well as some long standing favourites. You will also read through a new
piece or two and learn some canons and warm ups.
Session 2: Katherine Ruhle
is an incredibly talented
Brisbane composer who is writing some fabulous pieces! In this session you will
be introduced to some new warm-ups, canons and larger works, movement and
intentional listening activities, all working towards forming well-rounded
musicians who can sing beautifully.
Session 3: Kate Albury and
the Brisbane Grammar School Vocal Group and Chamber Choir. Kate Albury is Choral Director and
Coordinator of Middle School Events at Brisbane Grammar School. Her
choral experience extends from conducting with the Queensland Conservatorium
Chorus to co-conducting Gondwana Singers at the National Choral School.
She is excited to be bringing the Chamber Choir, an auditioned ensemble of 35
treble voices as well as the Vocal Group, a non-auditioned ensemble of over 75
voices! During this session she will demonstrate some of the boys’
