Every July the “Music (ed) Matters” podcast usually takes a break, but this summer we are doing a series of replays to celebrate the book, “The Business of Choir” recently released by Alex Gartner and your host, Dr. Emily Williams Burch. In this replay from the Pre-Release Book Tour you'll hear from Dr. G. Phillip Shoultz, III who talks to us about the inherent value of choral singing and the power of communication. What is the value of choir and how do we communicate that with our singers, audiences, and communities?
