Dr. Viola Dacus will present the 2021 Humanities Teacher Award lecture for 2021 at Mississippi College: Throughout over thirty years of teaching young singers, Dr. Viola Dacus has observed parallels in learning to sing well and living well. The lecture will consider the challenges of teaching young singers, each one of whom is literally a unique instrument. Further, discovering that unique instrument can have broader ramifications for life. The premise: it is not the instrument you are given that matters, it’s what you do with it.
The performance and lecture will take place on the Mississippi College campus in the Jean Pittman Williams Recital Hall, and will be livestreamed on the Mississippi College YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_crgq8NbSmeyqvPIKCO8eQ
