Listen "40. Teaching high school choir"
Episode Synopsis
Who were the top three most influential people in your early life? If you were in music, I bet at least one of those was your music teacher. In this episode I speak with Rachel, a high school choir teacher from Western Washington. We discuss the rewards and challenges of shaping young lives through music. She describes the unique camaraderie among choir members, her approach to selecting repertoire, and the balance of maintaining professionalism while developing vulnerability and trust with her students.
