ABOUT CROSS-CHORAL TRAINING®

Transform your sound from the inside out!

Hailed by The New York Times as “a remarkable choral director,” Dianne Berkun Menaker has created Cross-Choral Training® a proven program of vocal and musicianship pedagogy, to help singers develop healthy, reliable and flexible vocal technique working in group settings.

This approach has led the Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Youth Chorus to be the chorus of choice for top orchestras and recording artists worldwide–from Beyonce & Elton John to The NY Philharmonic & John Adams.

Applicable for elementary, high school, and community choruses, beginners to advanced, Cross-Choral Training® is built on two foundational pillars:

• Vocal Training: Functional voice pedagogy for healthy, authentic singing across a range of musical styles

• Musicianship: Music literacy and sight-singing approaches based on experiential and sequential learning
