Choral Music Experience (CME) is a performance-based curriculum for music education developed by award-winning educator Doreen Rao. It brings a new integrated approach to music education, combining the development of performance skills with the acquisition of musical knowledge. In the past, these complementary aspects of music have been taught and treated separately. Today we know that when students perform, they are demonstrating their knowledge - they are singing their understanding. Guided by this performance model, Doreen Rao's Choral Music Experience focuses on distinctive, diverse, multicultural choral repertoire in which students can experience the joy of learning through singing. An invaluable resource for conductors, teachers and student teachers. There is an extensive library of graded repertoire, specially written & edited for young voices, which introduces a very wide range of styles: folk, gospel, jazz, blues, classical and contemporary. The teaching materials cover vocal technique and conducting technique, and includes rehearsal guides, evaluation questions and assessment materials.
