Today, I deep dive into the practices of Daniel Gutierrez of Reed Academy Singers to find out what it takes to put together the type of performance that receives not one, but two standing ovations at the National ACDA conference.   Click to download episode! Show Notes: Stay the course (Don’t go crazy) Be open to advice and criticism Perform a lot Raising the standard Record everything Hold students accountable Demonstrate vulnerability Trust each other 3 Key Takeaways: Do more of what you do best. Don’t change what you do in your program just because you were accepted to a conference. Your language matters. “That was good” after everything doesn’t raise the bar. Vulnerability is key.
