Building a Vocal Community: The Power of Song in Community
January 25-26, 2019
6-9 p.m. Friday & 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday
Note: This is a 2-day event, beginning on Friday evening from 6-9 p.m. and continuing Saturday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Lunch will be provided on Saturday at no additional cost.
There is an awesome power in the human voice and when uncommon voices are blended for the common good, they become a 'vocal community' at its best. Masterfully led by Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell, William & Mary's Class of 1939 Maurine Stuart Dulin Artist in Residence, singers and non-singers alike will share the common experience of learning in the oral tradition and singing rhythms, chants, traditional songs from Africa and the Diaspora, and a variety of songs from African American culture, including spirituals, ring shouts, hymns, gospels, and songs from the Civil Rights Movement. The historical, social and political context will be provided as an introduction to the songs. Throughout this experience, the group will explore from an African American world view the values embedded in the music, the role of cultural and spiritual traditions and rituals, ways in which leadership emerges and can be shared by and among community members, the nature of cultural responses to and influences on political and social struggle, and finally the significance of a shared communal experience in one's personal life. All that is required is a willingness to add your voice--no singing experience is needed!

RePublic Charter Schools
RePublic Schools is a network of high-performing public charter schools based in Nashville, TN and Jackson, MS with a mission to reimagine public education in the South and prepare all of our scholars to graduate from college. In addition to providing a world-class traditional academic curriculum, we empower our students to be change-makers by teaching them to code – starting in the 5th grade.
Despite the fact that our scholars come from traditionally underserved communities (approximately 85% identify as low-income, and nearly 95% as students of color), we have seen them defy the odds to achieve outstanding results. RePublic’s schools have scored in the top 5% of all open-enrollment public schools across the state of Tennessee for both student growth and absolute achievement – making ours the first (and only) charter schools in state history to achieve this dual distinction.
At RePublic, we cultivate a cohesive community of families, staff, and scholars committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure our scholars succeed. Candidates must share our unwavering belief that all children can achieve at high levels and change the world.
RePublic currently has over 20 available positions all posted in Tribe Careers!
Positions include ESL Teachers, Computer Science Teachers, History Teachers, Dean of Students, and more!
