Episode 274: Work Less Hard than Your Students

When I scroll around the internet, I see more and more examples of great choir rehearsals going on around the world. It’s an exciting time to be a member of this profession! But, it also gives me a sense of how hard we all are working to get sound out of kids. Do we need to be? Or, do we have a hero complex of sorts that we need to work out with our therapists. I know I did in the early years. In my Masters Conducting recital, I was told that “it looked like I was working way harder than the singers.” In my first, 5-6 of teaching I was absolutely working harder than anyone in the room. If a note or rhythm was going to be right, it would be because I played on the piano or sang it. I was the barrier to learning when I was wrong, and the gateway to learning when I was right. ALL of the weight of the learning fell on me. I was falling on my sword every day and didn’t know it. My job isn’t that way at all anymore. Now, I teach them TOOLS, and let them build the music with them. It is also hard work. But, I no longer feel like I am the only one working. Class is more fun, we laugh more, kids focus more, get in less trouble, and the final product is better. So, lets dig into why that is. Choralosophy presented by Ludus.
