Lessons With Shana

Running a successful choir program takes more than great music — it takes planning, organization, and the right tools to stay on top of everything from rehearsals to concerts. On Day 2 of Choir Week, I’m sharing some of my favorite printables to help you manage your choral classroom with ease.

Whether you’re a first-year teacher or a seasoned choir director, these tools will save you time and help your students thrive.

Why Organization Matters in Choir

Let’s be real — between voice part placement, concert prep, attendance tracking, and rehearsal goals, things can get chaotic fast. Having a few well-designed planning tools can make a huge difference in your:
    •    Confidence as a teacher
    •    Rehearsal efficiency
    •    Communication with students and families
    •    Overall program success

These printables are the exact ones I use in my own classroom, and today, I’m giving them to you — for free!
