iSing Silicon Valley presents:
an Elementary Choir Workshop

June 25-27, 2026

Our first Summer Workshop was a smashing success!

Here’s what one of our participants had to say:

“It is honestly difficult to put into words how much I appreciated this workshop. I've attended many professional development opportunities over the years, and this one stands out as one of the most meaningful and inspiring experiences I've had.

What made it so special wasn't just the incredible repertoire, teaching strategies, or musicianship—it was the way everything was connected by a clear philosophy of teaching. Every activity had a purpose, every transition was intentional, and every interaction reflected a deep respect for children as musicians.

Perhaps what I'll remember most is the sense of community. Shane and the entire team created an environment where teachers felt welcomed, encouraged, and inspired to keep growing. It never felt competitive—it felt like everyone genuinely wanted one another to succeed.

Thank you for sharing not only your knowledge but also your passion and generosity. You have made a lasting impact on me as an educator, and I know that impact will continue to reach my students for years to come. I sincerely hope this won't be my last opportunity to learn from all of you.”

Let us know if you’re interested in the next workshop!

Possible Date: June 2028

What Makes This Workshop Different?

You'll be a student, rather than an observer. Experience our curriculum the same way iSing singers do. Feel how each new element builds on the last to create a final product that is both musically satisfying and high quality. Understand why our singers love choir and develop exceptional musicianship. Be inspired as a conductor to think differently about how elementary choir classes can work and what your program can achieve.

Learn How To:

  • Create dynamic and engaging curriculum for young singers

  • Implement sight-singing techniques starting from 1st grade to 6th grade

  • Design successful choir levels, grade combinations, class sizes, and curriculums across six grade levels

  • Begin each year with welcoming, fun activities that set the tone for success

  • Integrate both Orff and Kodaly techniques into your rehearsals

  • Cultivate vocal technique and beautiful tone appropriate for each developmental stage 

  • Structure the look and feel of an elementary choir class
