Making music together is about joy. It’s about many other things, but it’s about joy, first and foremost.
We all have a moment we can remember when the utter joy of singing together completely overwhelmed us.
If you aren’t prioritizing joy in your music-making, you are losing the opportunity to change lives and make lifelong musicians about your students. Sightreading in harmonic minor can wait, if you can spend a little more time cultivating joy in your choir.
