This podcast is my everyday way to become a better choral director. It is engaging, thoughtful, and inspiring to people who want to be the best versions of themselves in this important field of work.

I ran across this podcast as I was struggling with being a first time Choral director. Huge impact on my outlook and rehearsal strategies. An incredibly important tool!!

Anyone leading, singing or interested in choral music should make this a part of their regular podcast rotation. Topics range from the practical (e.g. vocal pedagogy, teaching sight reading) to the philosophical (choirs and diversity/equity, how we interact with our colleagues online and what we value in our ensembles). Both inspirational and helpful!

This podcast was the piece I didn’t know I was missing as a choral director. It’s caused me to reevaluate every aspect of my job and create new definitions of excellence for myself and my students. I have benefited equally from the practical ideas and the philosophical ideas. I’m so grateful to have found someone willing to question everything and challenge our field to do better - with ideas from a wide range of “experts” on how to do just that.
