| Summary: | This study investigated the criteria conductors use to select repertoire for beginner
secondary school choirs and is based on a qualitative research design. The research
was guided by a social constructivist worldview and is an explanatory case study. Data
were collected through interviewing five experienced and established choir conductors
who conduct secondary school choirs. Five themes crystallised through the data
analyses, which are Education, Vocal ability, Type of choir, Programme choice and
Audience preference and development. This study leads to further recommendations
about possible research on repertoire that is best suited for beginner secondary school
choirs and choir singing as experienced by the choristers and the audiences
themselves. === MA (Musicology), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
