In this episode, we discuss dividing up the job and helping your assistant directors flourish, grow and learn their strengths. We also talk about how wonderful it is to have an assistant director and how it can be hard to let go of things when you're used to doing so much alone, but how it can be the best thing that ever happens in your choir program when you do let go and allow your assistant to fly!
In this episode, Clint and Jodi describe how they've built their choir programs from the ground up. We want to share ideas on how you can grow your choir program from scratch!
Have you ever struggled with what to do on the first day of choir or how to start your year? In this episode, we'll tell you everything you need to successfully start the year in your middle school choir program!
