“Love is at the root of everything — all learning, all parenting, all relationships — love or the lack of it. And what we see and hear on the screen is part of who we become.” – Mr. Rogers
Love is at the root of choir directing, too, of course. Consider putting this quote somewhere you can see it every day as you prepare to step in front of your choir. We all need more reminding to lead with love.
Mr. Rogers is the subject of a new documentary that is premiering at the Sundance Film Festival today. I can’t wait to learn more about this fascinating man: you can learn most of the skills you need to lead a choir from watching the way he leads on the TV screen.
