The Progression

February 3, 2010 by philip copeland Leave a Comment


Do you ever have the sense that your choir thinks you are talking about someone else when you make a correction during a rehearsal?  I do, and one of my students helped me come up with this pyramid yesterday.

    When do we get to see a similar pyramid showing the dawning realization by the conductor that the fault he’s criticizing was actually caused by his own bad gesture or instruction?

    Me, I guess.  A Copeland original but I love the additions from Professor Sharp and Simon.

     Interesting.  Thank you for sharing that.  Any restrictions on usage in rehearsals, publications to choir, training sessions?  To whom should credit be given?

    Philip, The missing component might be “next rehearsal, repeat the same sequence, with no discernable change.”
