It was great to have rehearsal again with the ladies. It was a tough rehearsal, however. They worked hard, but I felt the energy lagging, especially near the end. I can't blame them- rehearsal for 2 hours and 45 minutes with a 10 minute break? We have so much to get done, but I think next week I will give them two shorter breaks. I also plan on using the space more- getting them moving instead of sitting and standing only. We have four rehearsals left until our concert. We have the whole month of April and our concert is May 7... it seems so far away, but it really isn't. The women were supposed to have learned their notes over break, but it didn't happen. The songs are fairly easy, but that means all the nuances I wanted to work on today didn't happen.
I guess for most choirs, the conductor will be destined to teach notes in some interesting way... we can never skip that part. It's okay, but wouldn't it be kind of cool to skip past the whole note-teaching process?
