It’s book release time! That’s right, you first heard about the book in Episode 74, then in the one-on-one interviews with collaborators in the book in Episodes 81, 82, 83, and 95, and then we shared our most recent soft launch of one of the book themes with a conference presentation replay in episode 90. But now, it’s time to get your hands on it! The book is done, printed, and available! 


In this episode, co-authors and co-hosts, Dr. Emily Williams Burch and Alex Gartner talk everything about the book, specifically related to Advocacy & Collaboration in "The Business of Choir"


Communicating value, building capacity, and measuring impact - the three major sections of the latest book released through GIA's Music Education series. In this episode, co-authors Alex Gartner and Emily Williams Burch explain the contents, how to use the resource, and relate it all back to the incredible power of advocacy and collaboration to keep our choral profession going strong.
