What are the most important things you want your choirs to end this school year with?
Got the list? If you’re like me, there are at least a dozen major goals on it.
You have to shorten it. Make it three. You’ll get more done, but you can only guarantee maybe three.
What must you do?
Here’s mine:
- Belonging. They should feel like they belong to each other.
- Musicality. Not musicianship, necessarily, but they should understand how to make music feel alive.
- Performing. Learn how to dance with the nerves of walking on stage, and deliver the performances they are capable of performing.
Everything else I want to do is secondary to any of those three.
