A complete bundle of engaging, ready-to-use assignments for any secondary vocal program

If you’re looking for meaningful, high-engagement performance tasks that work at any point in the semester, my Vocal Performance Project Bundle brings together four of my most effective, classroom-tested assignments.

These projects build independence, confidence, musicianship, and creativity — and they require minimal prep from you. Whether you teach vocal music full time or rotate through performance units, this bundle gives you everything you need for mid-year assessments, culminating tasks, and performance-based learning.

Let’s take a closer look at each project and how it can elevate your vocal class.

⭐ 1. Small Ensemble Assignment

Perfect for mid-semester performance units, concert prep, or anytime you need structured, independent rehearsal time.

The Small Ensemble Assignment is one of the most flexible and rewarding tasks you can give your vocal students. In this project, students form duets, trios, or quartets and work collaboratively to rehearse and perform a piece of their choice.

What it develops:

• Ensemble cohesion
• Blend + balance
• Listening skills
• Musical leadership
• Confidence in small-group performance

Students take ownership of their rehearsals and learn what it means to be a contributing member of a tight-knit musical team. This assignment works beautifully just before a concert, during a creative lull, or as a stand-alone performance assessment.

⭐ 2. Mini-Musical Project

A creative, multi-role culminating project perfect for later in the semester or pre-break energy dips.

The Mini-Musical is your all-in-one creative production project. Students work together to bring a short musical to life, taking on both performance roles and production responsibilities such as:

• Costumes
• Props
• Narration
• Poster/graphic design
• Simple choreography
• Set pieces
• Stage movement

Every student performs, every student has a job, and every student reflects on their contributions.

It’s an ideal assignment for classes that thrive on storytelling, creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning — and yes, the results are always adorable, hilarious, or downright impressive.

⭐ 3. Four-Part Mash-Up

A student-favourite project that blends arranging, creativity, and part-singing.

The Four-Part Mash-Up is where vocal class meets creativity lab. Students select four songs and weave them together into a cohesive mash-up, complete with transitions, part assignments, and performance elements.

Skills it develops:

• Part-singing confidence
• Aural awareness + listening
• Musical arranging and transitions
• Creativity
• Comfort with notation software (students LOVE this part)

This project is a fantastic stretch assignment — it challenges stronger students while still being accessible and fun for the whole class. It’s perfect anytime you want students to dive deeper into musicianship and creativity.

⭐ 4. The Soundtrack of My Life

A reflective, meaningful performance project — especially powerful in January.

If you teach vocal music in the new year, The Soundtrack of My Life is the perfect January culminating task. In this project, students select songs that represent their personal stories, important memories, and meaningful life moments.

They build a short performance that includes:

• Purposeful song choices
• Artistic reflection
• Visual presentation (slides or digital storytelling)
• A polished solo performance

This is one of the most emotionally rich assignments you will ever run. Students reflect deeply, perform with intention, and connect music to identity in a way that is incredibly moving.
