Girl Conductor Maria A. Ellis teaches a group of Choral Instructors the gospel style including vowel formation, rhythm, gospel harmonies and music theory.
I Don’t Know What You Come To Do - congregational gospel song written by Bishop Milton Hollins is sang traditionally in Black Churches as call and response.
Clapping and singing - let’s learn!
