What it is

LAW (Learn Arm Waving) School is a program open to all Region 12 Sweet Adelines to help them develop and improve their arm-waving skills. With four different levels, it provides a place for everyone from the completely inexperienced to those who direct on a regular basis. Students select their own levels based on their experience or expertise, or with the help of one of the professors.

What it is not

LAW School deals with the arm waving part of directing and will not address the many other aspects of being a director. The DCP (Director Certification Program) is a program sponsored by Sweet Adelines International which provides resources regarding those rather important things such as analytical listening, vocal production, rehearsal planning, etc.

When it is

Two workshops are held in the Spring and Fall. The date for the next workshop is November 3, 2007.
