The Choral Director’s Toolbox This Week

This week on The Choral Director’s Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker reflects on “The Juggler,” a powerful reminder that excellence in conducting, and in life, comes from personal responsibility, perseverance, and a willingness to do the hard work, even after dropping the balls thousands of times.

In Today’s Listener Question, a church music director asks how to navigate conflict and competition surrounding solo opportunities.  The response offers clear, practical guidance for restoring unity, refocusing on service,  and building a healthy choral culture.  

Today’s Inspiration features Good Friday Anthems by Russell Schulz-Widmar, performed by the William Baker Festival Singers.  The selection is haunting, spare, and deeply moving music that rewards thoughtful, committed singing.
