Downloads  "Nine Steps to Raise and Nurture a Community Choir"

Has your community been talking about starting its own choir, perhaps as a service project?

If your community is small, have you considered a cluster-wide choir?

Are you aware of the differences between an informal sing-along group and a choir? 

Have you wondered what it would take to establish, maintain and develop your local chorus, provide it with music, and with opportunities for performance?

Author Kathryn Tahiri is a composer, choral and orchestral conductor, performer, educator, and former director of the Bahá'í Temple Choir and the Fifth Street Choir in Evanston, Illinois. Co-author Ludwig Tuman is a composer, pianist and choir director. Both have had years of experience in creating and building choirs. 

They have collaborated in writing this simple, direct and highly practical booklet to help local communities understand the "nine steps" to raise and nurture their own choral groups.  As it turns out, there is more to establishing a local choir than "meets the ear"!
