Pender’s Sing-a-bration
Thursday, July 11 – Saturday, July 13, 2019 in Denton, TX
Join us for three days of inspiring and educational choral workshops, including The Joy of Singing and The Joy of Worship. Learn from some of the top clinicians in the nation!
Sing-a-bration includes The Joy of Singing workshops for elementary, middle, and high school choirs and classrooms, as well as The Joy of Worship, which focuses on church chorals for adult choirs from traditional to contemporary.
Learn from top clinicians Greg Gilpin, Andy Beck, Victor Johnson, John Jacobson, Cristi Miller, Mac Huff, Kari Gilbertson, Jonathan Palant, Cheryl Lavender, Susan Brumfield, Pepper Choplin, Joseph Martin, and Heather Sorenson.
Summer is the perfect time to plan your fall and holiday music! Clinician Pepper Choplin joins Pender’s to present new music, including Christmas cantatas. You may bring up to four members of your choir (for example, director plus three) to join in fellowship while learning new pieces for the year.
Did you ever order a piece for your choir and find out at the first rehearsal that it was much harder than it sounded? You didn’t know that the bass line had so many tricky spots to trip over. We have the solution for that. Attend one of our live reading sessions. You will hear the basses sitting behind you trip over that hard part. You will notice that one of the easiest pieces in the packet is breathtakingly beautiful – something you would have overlooked without a live performance and the collective “ahhh” after the last note. You will get a hint from the conductor/composer about how to use a piece in a way that gives it a whole new life. That person sitting next to you from another church might even share with you how they did something similar that worked well for their church. Then you have a new friend.
We believe there is no substitute for a live reading session. If for no other reason, it is a joy to make beautiful music for three hours with over a hundred fine singers. We think that once you attend one of our live reading sessions, you will not want to miss another. We hear this from past attendees all the time. Contact us if you have any questions.

For the first time ever, Hal Leonard’s very popular Joy of Singing session will be offered in two tracks during our Sing-a-bration weekend of choral workshops.

The sessions are scheduled for Friday, July 15th, from 9am to 4pm @ the Lewisville Convention Center.
The Elementary session will be led by clinicians Roger Emerson, John Jacobson, Mac Huff, and Cristi Cary Miller. Hal Leonard’s Classroom Reading material, which in the past has been scheduled as a separate event, will be incorporated throughout the day. In addition to the classroom reading, Joy of Singing Elementary will feature musicals, collections, classroom resources, octavos and more.
