Nothing stays the same.” -Denise Eaton Show Notes: Self-reflection and self-evaluation is essential to growth. Identify ineffective habits. Your choir should know the purpose and goals behind your methods. Know YOUR choir: the one that is really in front of you, not your choir from last year, and not the one you wish you had. This must inform your repertoire selection. Write a real lesson plan, that reflects your score study. Think through how you are going to teach each section, each part. View it through the lens of the learner. Score study is essential. You are less of a teacher without it. Record your warm ups, so you can check and see if you are getting the tone/vowel/pitch you want. All warm ups should have a purpose.
