The Fall 2026 Joy Anthony Douglass Visiting Master Teacher Residency included classes and workshops for Crane students and faculty on teaching through singing, vocal warm-ups, modeling and voice use. The program ended with an interactive singing workshop involving local elementary students from the Parishville-Hopkinton Central School District and Crane music education and choral majors.
