Being a Team Player and a Leader in Choral Singing

In any kind of ensemble, when aiming for real music-making it is essential to find the balance between leading and being a team player. Conductors can supply singers with various tools that teach them how to lead and how to be led at the same time, whether through deep musical work, practice methods, improvisation, or movement.

This session will cover some of the best techniques to use with your choir.
