Stick Time: Conducting Study 5

February 20, 2012 by Scott Dorsey Leave a Comment


Today, let’s look at two quick things in this brief excerpt from the 2011 ACDA National Conference. The first is poise.  One would be hard-pressed to find a choral environment with a higher stress level than standing on the stage at an ACDA National Conference – yet note how comfortable and relaxed our colleague appears.  Such a demeanor can only help the choir sound good!  Then note how she reinforces the vowel color by both emulating the shape of the vowel and by using her hand as a highlight.
 
Look in a mirror . . . Does your physical demeanor help the choir to reach their highest potential?
