This module has been created by Dr. Carly Johnson, Chair of the Department of Music at Alabama State University, to supplement commercial textbooks available for college-level conducting courses. The culturally diverse images, musical scores, and videos featured in the module provide more inclusive content, representative of students from historically marginalized groups, and aid in deconstructing racial, ethnic, and gender biases often associated with the study of Western art music and with holding leadership positions in music. The module begins with reflective questioning, identifying and examining equity barriers in Western art music, and ends with pathway resources for underrepresented students to pursue additional study beyond the conclusion of the course. Included in this module are several activities and assessments that can be used in a variety of ways, suitable for both in-person teaching or for synchronous or asynchronous online instruction.

"A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development unveils the deep bodily connections that can form among choir singers Researchers tracked different physiological variables as a choir sung and used algorithms to uncover connections between them Aside from a blending of voices, they found that choir singers’ heart rates and breathing patterns sync up when performing as a group This merging was coupled to the vocalization patterns of the singers The conductor’s hand movements also caused a shared physiological response among the singers In essence, the work suggests that a choir can be considered a type of coherent physiological entity… or, as the researchers suggest, a superorganism Viktor Müller, Julia A.M. Delius, Ulman Lindenberger. Complex networks emerging during choir singing..."
