Recently I was hired for a long term substitute position as a music educator at a K-8 school. Being mostly a band and general music person I really stepped out to something new when I took over all of the choruses for grades 4-8. I'm always into being the adventurous person so I decided this was going to be a learning experience. So far so good, even though I just received their music last week and their concert is the 27th the students have taken the initiative to make sure everyone is ready. Doing chorus practically everyday has also given me the push to practice chorus warmups and choral conducting as well. Every time something goes wrong as well I know what to change for next rehearsal. This is a great time to adjust things myself without a teacher leaning over my shoulder, trial and error!
