Is this text that you submitted to the FME? in Lubbock, Texas. His strategies for recruiting ensemble singers while a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder have also been cited and adopted by colleagues at other institutions [6] as are his kinesthetically-based rehearsal strategies [7].Can't locate either of these sources to view, can you give me an idea of what they contain, text-wise?
Kaptein has published scholarly articles and reviews in the "Choral Journal," "American Choral Review," "Bulletin of the International Federation of Choral Music," and Austria's "Musikerziehung Osterreichischer Bundesverlag."
