Hi fellow Song Organizer list members,
I'm very excited to announce a greatly expanded CDSS Resource Portal with
brand new sections for singers and song leaders.
The goal of the CDSS Resource Portal it to support you and others who take
on valuable leadership roles in traditional song, dance, and music
communities. The Portal does this by linking to many of the very best
resources available for singers and song leaders, callers, educators,
organizers, ritual dancers and leaders, educators, dance musicians, and
more. There are hundreds of resources organized by topic as well as links
on how to connect with others online or at in-person gatherings. (We
initially launched the Resource Portal in Fall 2019 but it's only housed
organizer resources up until now!)
Check out the Portal here:
https://www.cdss.org/resources/resource-portal/song
The Portal is only a great as the resources that are shared by the
community! We are looking to add even more resources and we really
appreciate resources created by members of our network (including you!).
If you know of resources that should be added, please suggest them here:
https://www.cdss.org/share-your-resource
The Portal could especially benefit from more resources for song leaders
and for educators working with school-aged children relating to traditional
song.
If you have follow-up questions for me regarding the portal, please email
portal(a)cdss.org rather than the listserv. Note that I likely won't be able
to respond for a few weeks but do look forward to touching base.
Also, you may be interested in Shop Talk - CDSS's free quarterly e-blast
for organizers.
