Repertoire and Standards (R&S) Committee Purpose and Function
 

The fourteen Repertoire and Standards (R&S) Committees provide support, vision, and resources for every major area of choral work.  Committees play an important role in serving their respective choral genres. R&S committees provide:

  • Repertoire and literature recommendations
  • Documents and Resources
  • Leadership and Information
  • Networking among colleagues
  • Maintaining Excellent Standards among colleagues
  • Professional Development Opportunities
  • Promoting Choral music performance and participation in the lives of people

Repertoire and Standards Committee Chairs, appointed at the national, division, and state levels, serve conductors, teachers, composers, and constituencies who share similar interests. Chairs possess demonstrated expertise in a specific choral area and serve as leaders in the three primary efforts: 

  • Collaboration
  • Communication
  • Commitment
The Repertoire and Standards Committees have a vital role in the ACDA. Repertoire and Standards Committees chairs and their members provide resources that promote excellence in all aspects of the performance of choral music.
