Jewishchoralmusic.com, Zamir's free resource for choral leaders and conducting students, is being nationally recognized for filling a void during "social distancing". The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) highlighted the site among its Resources for Choral Professionals During the Pandemic. While choral leaders and educators had more time for learning and planning, jewishchoralmusic.com introduced them to new treasures. The enriched site provides a core online/podcast curriculum on the history of Jewish music, and lets them peruse compositions for days on end! See what ACDA has to say here.
