@StevesMusicRoom I definitely think it is a skill to work on and opportunities to sing without a conductor should be encouraged!

[Lorie Wacaster @lorie_wacaster]

@StevesMusicRoom Short answer, No! Longer answer it depends! Seriously, choice of lit, size, experience of ensemble and physical arrangement plus performance environment all play into whether or not to use a conductor.

@rebelmusicteach Yes! leaving time to respond to a lesson is important!

Tech Week has begun! Starting each rehearsal off with 5 minutes of focusing on breathing. Our intention for this activity is total oxygen exchange for the body, lowering stress, calming and focusing the mind and staying in the moment!

Take a few deep breaths. With each exhale, visualize clearing space in your mind for gratitude, peace, and presence.
