Our world-renowned music programs are not possible without our faculty and staff, who inspire and change the lives of our students through culturally responsive, empowering, and sustaining teaching practices. Through professional development opportunities including workshops with culture bearers and our Future Music Educators program, Uniting Voices wants to provide conductors, educators and other arts professionals with the tools they need to excel and lead increasingly diverse and dynamic choral music programs.
Uniting Voices Chicago’s Future Music Educators (FME) Program supports the academic, professional development and future success of music education students and career teachers who reflect the diversity of America and the Uniting Voices Chicago community.
A year-long paid mentorship provides training on culturally responsive, empowering, and sustaining teaching practices to a broad group of diverse educators.
Learn MoreThrough musical connections with culture bearers, our students can forge cross-cultural connections while expanding technique with musical experts from around the world. Working with culture bearers ensures that our singers learn from the best and most authentic voices when learning a global music style. These workshops are open for music educators to attend and observe to learn from innovators and pacesetters in their unique field or genre of music.
