Choralosophy
Christopher M MunceThis page is dedicated to driving a conversation for choral musicians with the PHILOSOPHY of Choral Music at the heart of every post and podcast episode. Topics will be wide ranging from the technical aspects of our jobs and careers all the way to the artistic interpretations and values that make us who we are as artists. Join me in this conversation in which I hope we can learn from each other.

- Great Podcast for any Choir Director!
This is truly a fantastic resource for any choir director, and specifically for school choral directors. I am currently listening to “Accessible is Beautiful” and already have the book ordered and on its way. It’s amazing that we can be on summer break from
school, staying home and sipping our coffee while having a PD session tailored to our craft on our phones…everyone should take advantage and also
contribute to this podcast if they are financially able.

United Statesa year ago - The Resource the Modern Choral Director Needs
This podcast is my everyday way to become a better choral director. It is engaging, thoughtful, and inspiring to people who want to be the best versions of themselves in this important field of work.
Apple Podcasts5SpadadioroUnited States5 years ago - Well worth the time
I ran across this podcast as I was struggling with being a first time Choral director. Huge impact on my outlook and rehearsal strategies. An incredibly important tool!!
Apple Podcasts5Mu$ic2019United States5 years ago - Fantastic Resource
Anyone leading, singing or interested in choral music should make this a part of their regular podcast rotation. Topics range from the practical (e.g. vocal pedagogy, teaching sight reading) to the philosophical (choirs and diversity/equity, how we interact with our colleagues online and what we value in our ensembles). Both inspirational and helpful!
Apple Podcasts5SteveH9304United States5 years ago - The missing piece
This podcast was the piece I didn’t know I was missing as a choral director. It’s caused me to reevaluate every aspect of my job and create new definitions of excellence for myself and my students. I have benefited equally from the practical ideas and the philosophical ideas. I’m so grateful to have found someone willing to question everything and challenge our field to do better - with ideas from a wide range of “experts” on how to do just that.
