Kela Wanyama (KW): Please give a brief preview of the sessions you’ll be leading during Summer Institute. What kinds of topics will be discussed, and what types of repertoire will be covered?
Dr. Andrea Ramsey (AR): One session will be focused on embracing the non-auditioned junior high/middle school choir and practical thoughts for teachers who work with this situation.

And the final session “Choir, Community, and Connection” is the one I still have to craft! I hope to spend some time looking at community-building and connection-making both within and without our rehearsal walls.
Repertoire is about as varied as I coul
