Effusive

Rehearsal went so well tonight. There were moments of really good music making. And my two outer sections can really blend. The soprano 1 ladies really sing together well- with a beautiful, clear, light sound. And I could take more confidence from my alto 2 ladies, but they certainly know how to sing as a section.

The pacing of the rehearsal was good as well.

Sometimes it is so overwhelming to be in front of a group of singers. The desire to be the best teacher and clearest conductor is so strong. That's what they deserve- singers who want to make music and be proud of it. Sometimes I am not very clear in what I want to say- I need to be more succinct. The problem with enjoying my job is sometimes I become effusive with love for music, for the group, for life. Sometimes I just need to stop talking. But I hope I never lose that pure excitement for singers that are learning and are enjoying coming together as a group.

Tomorrow is a big day- Apple will hopefully announce the upcoming release of a new iPhone. I'm ready.
