Choir Ninja, With Ryan Guth

Ryan looks back on lessons learned this past year as a choir teacher in a new school/state/culture. This is a must listen for anyone...novice or veteran...who is entering a new classroom (or any choir podium). You might want to make sure you listen to the whole thing. Allllll the way to the end. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “Wait...can we just end it like that...awkward silence...and then just go to your tag? Could we do that?” - Stevie Berryman Show Notes: Keep your ambition in check. (Don’t make changes too soon.) Trust takes time. Talk less, sing more. Concerts are your time to establish yourself in the community. Choose your battles. New school (state) = New culture Create non-classroom bonding experiences. Embrace your predecessor. Don’t compare your new students to your former students. Don’t compare yourself to the previous director. Resources/links Mentioned: Choir Nation group on Facebook Email Patreon - Support the podcast!
