The Voice! Resources for Elementary Choirs

When I became the music teacher at my school, I had a very specific vision for the choir that I inherited. The choir was to be modeled after a youth honor choir, with a rigorous audition and interview process. 4th graders would be trained for the OAKE or OMEA honor choir in 5th grade, and 5th graders would be trained to jump into middle school choir fearlessly. Because of this, I needed worksheets that were essentially middle school level but with the colorful, fun aspects of elementary school. And, thus, my resource, "The Voice: Resources for Elementary Choirs" was born!
