We are all looking for music that will offer opportunities for musical growth, artistry, community, and conversation….virtually, f2f, or hybrid….repertoire planning is a little different this year. In this repertoire exploration episode, composer/educator Matt Carlson has some musical options that provide all of the above for a variety of voicing. In this episode, Matt shares how he got into composition, how challenging yourself makes you stronger and more capable, and the ways he uses music and text to create a variety of opportunities for every singer. Matt is an awesome collaborator and you can hear his passion for providing music for all singers in this episode.
