Don’t worry if you haven’t got powerhouse voices in your incoming groups. Worry about finding powerhouse attitudes.
If your goals for your choir include:
- Create a positive creative environment
- Continue to grow throughout the school year
- Make egoless music
- Draw more students into your choral program
- Have singers leave excited to keep making music
…then what you want are powerhouse attitudes. They will grow together, learn enthusiastically, and support each other. Of course it’s fun to have an outstanding soloist when the need arises, and when you can have both – be thankful! But in your audition results a powerhouse voice with a lackluster attitude should come in below an average voice with a powerhouse attitude. You’ll be happier in the long run.
