Lack of Focus
What’s keeping students from staying focused in rehearsal?
Human Nature
Music and Gratitude
I don’t think you can make great music without a spirit of gratitude.
Look Inward To Look Forward
I asked my students, in our last rehearsal in November, to look forward by looking inward.
Collegiality
Here are some of the traits that I see contributing to great collegiality.
Everything Is Practice
Everything is practice.
Always Focused
Rehearsal: the one place I’m always focused.
The Answer Is Yes
Who do you want to work with? My answer comes down to this one Leonard Bernstein quote:
Music Is The Balm
Music is the balm we all need.
Implicit Trust
Choirs don’t work without implicit trust.
Still But Tired
You can be exhausted after a day of stillness.
