RSCM Voice for Life
  • Does anyone here have any experience or more in-depth knowledge of the RSCM Voice for Life curriculum? How usable is it for a Catholic youth choir? Does it require a full school music curriculum, or can it be suitable for weekly rehearsals? How effective is it, especially considering the cost?

    I know next to nothing about it; I'd just like to get some personal opinions out there. Thanks!

    I have used it for some years, albeit with modifications for RC usage.
    Three things to know:

    1)Using it requires a good bit of organization if you follow it with the awarding of ribbons,etc.
    2)You need to develop some aspects within a RC context.
    3) I have always included a solfege component that develops ear training and reading.

    That being said, it can work well. Better than a lot of things out there.
