With leadership comes much responsibility and we are all leaders as choir directors and music teachers. Your singers and students look up to you! This episode offers valuable insight into the importance of leading by example, especially through authenticity, finding the positive spin, and creating opportunities to sincerely build and foster community in your choir or classroom. Dr. Phillip Shoultz shares directly from his experiences and plans with VocalEssence - and his fabulous “Take 5 with GPS” program that started right as we all dove into quarantine - and ideas that are growing out of this pandemic. This episode is positive and radiates choir love - you’re going to love it and get so much out of it! Read more about Dr. Shoultz: https://www.vocalessence.org/who-we-are/staff/Check out “Take 5” with GPS on YouTube: https://youtu.be/NUKog1OBhmgCatch the full episode or other episodes from PD Week 2020 at Patreon.com/MusicEdMatters**Our show sponsor, Kinnison Choral Company wants to help you build community!
