The Importance of Score Study

Greetings, all.

I asked a former student of mine to do a short video for my Choral Conducting class on the importance of score study.  She really delivered on the request and came up with this video.  I wasn’t expecting to be inspired, but I was.  I hope that you will enjoy this as much as I did:
