Power in Progress: Advanced
After you have worked through the Intermediate Level, you are ready to demonstrate personal learning and leadership. You have started applying principles, and now it is time to step up and regularly apply good choral practices and help others with those practices.
In addition to your knowledge, you will teach these values and principles and begin to take your place as a leader in the group. You are steps away from becoming a master musician. To the student: When you have finished these requirements, find a member of the choir council to pass off these items. Have the council member sign your book. Next, complete the verification form found here: Advanced Verification Form. After you complete the requirements you will receive your Advanced Level Award and work on Master Musician. To the council member: Please record the pass off in your Power in Progress Leadership Journal. |
