Selecting repertoire is incredibly important, as repertoire is a significant part of a teacher’s curriculum. The pieces selected by music teachers should be used to create a framework for students’ learning in order to provide quality, lasting musical experiences and foster students’ musical growth. Selecting and performing high quality repertoire is essential for students to experience music in an impactful and memorable manner.

I feel strongly about the importance of selecting quality and diverse repertoire for ensemble programs. The music that students perform should be artistic and of high quality, and be representative of all people and experiences in our world, not just a select few.
