When Two Values Conflict
What do you do when two values seem to conflict? You choose a path that satisfies both.
Conducting
Missing Music Making
How soon after you finish the school year is too soon to miss music-making?
Directing Your Own Kids
Nothing better.
Hardest Part
Every piece has a hardest part.
Goals For A Pickup Choir
Not every choir has the same goals. Make them clear.
Foreground
Not every piece has the same musical element in the foreground.
Hearing Priorities
I love being able to hear priorities.
Silent Rehearsal
Just because your ensemble is defined by singing doesn’t mean you have to be singing when you rehearse.
More
On average, choir directors should be asking for more and less about the same amount of time.
Video Auditions
Video auditions are here to stay; you won’t see me using them if I can avoid it.
