Thirty Years of Interviews with Adolescent Boys: Why They Sing & Why They Don't

Within this session, Dr Freer will cover the pubertal changes of the male voice before moving on to examining new research that will ground a discussion of what teachers can do to:

1. keep boys enrolled in choral singing during adolescence,
2. facilitate the return to choral singing by boys who withdraw and
3. develop active and successful recruitment/retention strategies for different types of schools and choral situations.
