Not every choir has the same goals. Make them clear.
It’s RAMChoir season – 4 90-minute rehearsals, 4 pieces, and a performance at the Aces Concert on May 24.
This evening I closed with this message:
Yes, put in the work you feel you need to feel ready for the performance. But don’t let this experience add even 1% stress to your life. The intention of this ensemble is for finding the joy in communal singing. It’s fun!
That’s a different message than I give to my other ensembles, because the other ensembles have different goals. The clearer I can be about the goals and intentions, the more we’ll all be able to work together to achieve them.
