Choral Resources . . .
A career choral conductor and music educator, Scott has produced several one-of-a-kind resources that may be of use to fellow choral directors.
It's staggering to think about, but the choral art has been around for about 1,500 years. That's a lot of music and history to learn for those in the choral arts. With his Choral Music Baseball Card series, Scott makes learning about important composers fun and easy.
