5. Fun in the Choir Rehearsal with Ashton Humphrey

Ashton Humphrey is a 4th year teacher at Croatan High School on the bank of the North Carolina ocean. (But seriously, his office overlooks the intracoastal waterway.) I met Ashton at a Carol Krueger conference two summers ago where we sat next to each other. Over the course of that 3 day experience we connected through social media and various statewide choral events. I interviewed Ashton because as a new teacher, he has really adopted Carol's literacy strategies into his program with much success. And while I expected us to talk a lot about how Carol's conference changed our teaching mindset (which we do), I was also moved by Ashton's story of how he first really connected with choir and how he strategizes his lessons/ rehearsals to keep students engaged and having fun. In addition to teaching choir, Ashton also is the theater/ drama teacher at his school. Stay tuned to the end for a series of questions that basically revolve around our favorite foods and a fun insight into the where and when on Ashton's upcoming nuptials!Be sure to follow all the cool things happening in Ashton's choir program on Instagram @croatanchoir and*BONUS* sign up to download this guide to students & social media posting from Ashton and your host, Beth Philemon.  CLICK HERE to DOWNLOADChoir Baton Host: Beth Philemon @bethphilemon | www.bethphilemon.comVisit Choir Baton Online: @choirbaton | www.choirbaton.comChoir Baton Theme Song by Scott HolmesChoir Baton Podcast Producer: Maggie HemedingerMusic by: Scott HolmesFollow @ChoirBaton onInstagram | TikTok | YouTube | FacebookVisit ChoirBaton.comFollow @BethPhilemon onInstagram | TikTok | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInVisit BethPhilemon.com
