Summary
Details

Whether you lead a church choir, plan to lead one, or are a volunteer or bi-vocational church choir director, this practical guide to thriving in the role will spark your creativity and deliver results. Dr. Randal L. Quackenbush, a published choral arranger and highly respected church choir practitioner, covers a variety of vital developmental subjects, such as spiritual and musical leadership, growing a robust musical culture, developing a healthy communal culture, successful rehearsal techniques, aesthetic considerations, the art of choral administration (people and program), performance practices, and the choir director as ""leader.""

The guide includes ten global case studies featuring church, community, and collegiate choirs, offering inspiring perspectives from England, Denmark, Ghana, India, Italy, and the United States. Each story shares approaches that are sure to stir up fresh, creative ideas that can be implemented in church choirs. One of the more gripping stories is of a once vibrant choir that was gradually reduced in priority until it was finally eliminated. Other highlights include examples of choirs thriving in various parts of the world as well as helpful appendices. Get the guidance you need to succeed as a church choir practitioner with the wisdom in Choir Confidential.
