009. Five Rehearsal Strategies from Top Choir Directors

The Choir Director Corner Podcast

I am always looking for new tools for my "director toolbox". After attending a conference, I got the idea of asking some of the most well-respected directors in the choir world this question:
"What are one or two rehearsal concepts or techniques that you have found to be invaluable in your teaching?"
I received some AMAZING responses! And in today's episode, I am sharing with you 5 rehearsal tips and strategies from leaders in the choral music field. These are all tips that you can immediately incorporate into your teaching, and they will have an instant impact on your ensembles.
If you'd like to see all of the responses that I received, I created the "Master Teachers Rehearsal Techniques PDF" to share with other choir directors. Originally I separated the responses into two parts, but I have combined everything into one easy PDF, which includes the responses from directors as well as a short discussion about each rehearsal technique. You can get your FREE copy of the PDF here:
