Abstract	Despite renewed interest in a cappella singing in mainstream culture, there are relatively few opportunities for vocal students to participate in popular music in choir, especially while using the learning processes of real-world musicians. In this article, we describe possibilities for using popular music to support singing with good technique, developing music literacy, and exposing students to new repertoire. Additionally, we explore how choir teachers can incorporate popular music into their classes using student-led creative projects as well as how they can develop parameters and scaffolding to help facilitate students' learning in these activities. Finally, we include practical strategies for choir teachers at any level and describe how these projects have helped our students "find their voices" by developing their musicianship and expressing their creativity.
