MON. 11-2: When Corona is gone, CULTURAL APPROPRIATION concerns will remain. Let's reframe the aim: APPROPRIATENESS!

#042.  Veteran high school choir director and Temple University doctoral candidate Jenny Hutton and Steve take on cultural appropriation and the need to balance honoring the music without paralysis by analysis.  Jenny talks about her opportunity to work with the fabulous Rollo Dilworth and his approach to the subject.  Jenny cites a specific challenge she faced with an Aruban harvest piece and how she handled it.  What a music educator!  Visit the SHOW NOTES for links related to this episode.

There you can join the email list and  be automatically entered into a drawing to tour South Africa with Steve and make music with his South African friends - all expenses paid. You will also get exclusive access to the official "Links Hub," which includes all the links from all episodes, organized by category.  If you're a choir leader and you need help solving a choir problem of any kind, visit 1 on 1 with Fish the Choir Guy, where 30 years experience meets your choral challenges. Finally, stay tuned for Steve's debut on teachable.com, with his online mine course series, "South African Songs in 7!," as well as a course on how choral organizations can plan their own concert tours.  That's right. Your ensemble can have far superior and much less expensive tour experiences, with the profit going to your organization's bottom line instead of a cookie cutter tour company.
