A recording studio session can be a powerful learning tool for students. I wish more high school students had the chance to spend a few hours tracking in a studio; they can learn great lessons about:
- Consistency
- Musicianship
- Musical Process
- Personal responsibility
- Patience
- Ensemble trust and forgiveness
Breaking down a well-learned piece of music into its component parts for a recording can lead to seeing music and the choir in completely new ways. Who wouldn’t want that?
