New Voices Bay Area Choir Assistant

CMC seeks a Choir Assistant to support a mixed-voice choral ensemble for community members self-identifying as transgender, intersex, or gender-queer (TIGQ). An ideal candidate could be someone interested in singing in the choir, who would like to support the project in additional ways as well.

Overview of NVBA: A Pilot Project of Community Music Center
New Voices Bay Area is a new choral ensemble for singers who self-identify as transgender, intersex, or gender queer. The entire range of the community is encouraged to sing with us: we welcome all gender expressions and any stage of a physical transition or non-transition. NVBA is for people who love to sing, whether beginners or professionals. Our goal is to create a great choral ensemble that performs a wide range of music, and to create a safe, creative space for trans, intersex and gender-queer singers to make music, learn, create community and have a great time together.

NVBA is being created because the Bay Area does not yet have a chorus dedicated to serving and empowering this community. In the United States, choral ensembles—in schools, communities, and religious institutions–are the most common way that amateur musicians participate in musical activities. However, TIGQ people face significant barriers to participation. . Standard choral method sorts singers rigidly by sex (female sopranos and altos, male tenors and basses); yet TIGQ people’s vocal stories are often more complex. Directors are typically not trained to teach and respectfully include those whose vocal ranges may be in flux or do not “match” the gender presentation of the singer.

As a result, TIGQ singers often hesitate to participate in choruses out of concern that they would not “fit in” or be welcomed, regardless of best intentions. Yet the TIGQ community is in desperate need of social and artistic outlets. The community has long had extremely high rates of poverty, unemployment and dropping out of school, and astronomical suicide rates. Research demonstrates that participating in choirs provides marginalized people with healthy opportunities for self-expression, music education they would otherwise likely not receive, social connection that combats isolation and shame, and positive feedback and support. A chorus dedicated to the TIGQ community will quite literally allow people to raise their voices when they are rarely encouraged to do so. Similar ensembles in Boston and Los Angeles have recently been founded, and are meeting with great success in both their artistic and social mission.

Principal Job Responsibilities
To support the NVBA Director with administrative tasks, communicating with choir members, setting up choir performances, raising public awareness of the program, and evaluating the program.

• Support Choir Director with administrative tasks as needed: i.e. preparing choir member binders and logistics related to choir sessions and performances, having choir members sign attendance sheets, coordinate provision of water at breaks, and following up with choir members who miss class.
• Attend rehearsals—ideally as a regular singing participant– and all performances.
• Coordinates NVBA performances at CMC and in the community.
• Support an evaluation process for the choir.
• Complete other tasks as assigned.

Location, Day and Time
NVBA rehearsals will take place at the Community Music Center on Sundays from 7:00 – 8:30pm, starting September 9, 2018 and run for 36 sessions during CMC’s Academic year until June 2019. The assistant would arrive at 6:45 and leave at 8:45.

Compensation
The Choir Assistant is paid for one hour/week or 36 hours per year for 9 months of the year (September 2018 – June 2019).

Qualifications

• Competence and experience working with and in transgender and non-binary communities
• Detail oriented with strong organizational skills
• Excellent communication skills
• Works well independently and with others
• Computer skills with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications Microsoft office and Google apps suite.

Application Process
Email a resume and cover letter to cmcstaffopenings@sfcmc.org Please include “CMC NVBA Choir Assistant” in the subject of your email. Only those being considered will be contacted. No phone calls, please. CMC is an equal opportunity employer.
