​
Adam Paltrowitz is a master educator, composer, conductor, and clinician.
​
During his 25-year tenure as the Director of Choral Activities at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School in New York, his groups have toured throughout Europe, Canada, and the United States.
​
What makes his choirs unique is his belief that anyone can sing; as a result, his ensembles are always self-selected, while maintaining the highest standard of musical excellence. He also has pioneered a philosophy that every student is a soloist. All students in his choirs continually learn and perform solo repertoire in various languages. Adam's choral program has also gained great acclaim for the cultivation of eight student-run a-cappella ensembles; some of these ensembles have performed on national and local television programs.
​
Adam earned his B.S. in music education from New York University, M.A. in vocal pedagogy from Columbia University - Teacher's College, and Ed.M. choral conducting from Columbia University - Teacher's College.
​
His weekly blog, Choral Clarity, has gained a large international audience as it provides a unique perspective to both the role of the choral director and the empowerment of all students.
​
Adam's online, on demand courses have helped thousands of choral educators and their students. HOW TO TEACH ANYONE TO MATCH PITCH! and CHOIR CRASH COURSE: 1ST DAYS OF CHOIR (AND BEYOND) PREP are setting the standard for practical choral education.
His choral compositions and arrangements have been performed by choirs around the world; many are available on his Choral Clarity instant download platform.
​
Please join the Choral Clarity Facebook Group for an interactive and introspective conversation about finding our own choral vision.
​
Adam resides in New York with his wife, Blair Goldberg, a professional Broadway actress, and their daughter, Lyla, and son, Nolan.
