Welcome! My name is Barbara Retzko and this is HighSchoolChoralResources.com! This site is bursting with ideas, projects, philosophies, assessments, worksheets & answer keys for you to use, freely, to enhance the education you are providing the students in your Choral classrooms. It is the culmination of my 40+ years as a Choral Music Educator and my way of paying it forward.Everything is “classroom-tested” and readytogo today! There is a lot here. Please take a moment to look around! If I can further assist or support you in any way, please email Barbararetzko@hotmail.comYou will find my complete bio here. Thanks, as always, for reading!
To those of you for whom the new school year is about to begin…you get a fresh start on helping to mold and shape the leaders of tomorrow. To use the medium of Choral Music to create unity and community and family, not to mention exceptional music. To care deeply. To invest in boundaries of trust and loyalty which are a critical part of our educational fiber. To bring your best self to the table every day to serve as a role model to young people who may feel isolated and detached through no fault of their own.
May you have the courage, strength and energy to be the very best version of you that you can share with those who choose to be inspired by you.
