Yes, they are brilliant professional singers in one of the best ensembles on the planet. But each one of these fabulous singers started in a school choir somewhere. And there was a director there working to help those kids sound great – just imagine who is singing in your rehearsal today.
Of the countless things these chaps do well, what three things can we incorporate in our rehearsals today? A couple random thoughts:
[1] It seems they don't just "know" the music, they have assimilated it. It is part of their genetic code.
[2] They are holding the tempo . . . even when they clap (always a terrifying moment for a choir).
[3] The gents have taken OWNERSHIP. They're not waiting for someone to do their work for them.
