Abstract
The purpose of this study was to discover what happens when social emotional learning is incorporated in the choral classroom through a unit of solo songs with inspirational texts. The study was conducted in a high school beginner treble choir. The researcher collected data through pre- and post-surveys, student artifacts, and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Four major themes emerged including growth in togetherness, newfound confidence, mindfulness, and boosted performance. Statistics confirmed that the unit had a positive influence on all but one of the participants. The researcher displayed her findings through poetic transcriptions and column charts.
