The Choir Director Corner Podcast

063. Nine Tips to Get the Singers in Your Choir to "Buy In"!


Listen Later

I had a coaching call a while back with a middle school/high school choir director who was facing several challenges, with the biggest one being that the members of their concert choir were not “buying in” to this director’s way of doing things.  This in turn was affecting not only the choir’s performance–as the director was struggling to get the choir to sing out–but also the general atmosphere and attitude of the choir.

 
I’ve been in this EXACT position in my teaching career, and we talked at great length about some of the issues this director was facing, and what they might try to combat these issues.  In this episode of the podcast, I will share with you nine tips for getting your choir to “buy in”. Whether you are a teacher in a new position, or a 30-year veteran who is trying to raise the level of expectations in your program, these tips will help you increase the “buy in” that you are getting from your singers!
