I like to start each new semester with a handful of personal resolutions – things I want to do better this semester, things I want to try, things I want to achieve. Things like:
- No repertoire I’ve conducted before
- Keep my talking to under 30 seconds during active rehearsal segments.
- Detailed plans for every rehearsal
- Innovate new leadership roles in the ensemble
- Laugh more
- Pianoless rehearsals
What new semester’s resolutions do you adopt to keep yourself growing and improving as and educator?
