Seriously, go for it! This teaching tip episode takes a business slant thanks to guest Laura Delauney, a fantastic conductor and self-made-business-mastermind. These tips explore the business side of creating an independent choir or building your school, church, or community choir through the experiences of Mrs. Delauney and Dr. Burch - both founders of independent community choirs in the past five years. Mrs. Delauney offers valuable insight into how to get started, what it will take, and how business practices can help you start something new or take your current choir to the next level.

Read about Laura Delauney and explore Mrs. Delauney’s choir CaryApexYouthChoir.org.
