Outstanding In Front - Not Just for Aspiring Directors Anymore
The Chorus Director Development Program, Director of the Future, has taken on a new name, some minor changes and is not just for Directors anymore. If your chapter is in need of finding a director, assistant director, section leaders, or perhaps you are looking to build a more functional music team, sending prospects to an Outstanding In Front Class could help. Outstanding In Front is a one-day introductory class designed to cater to the various needs of your music program by providing an opportunity for individuals to gain an understanding of what it takes to be a leader in front of your chorus.
Whether you are a novice director and need to hone some basic skills, or someone who has never been in front of a chorus and think directing just might be something you could do, but haven't a clue how to begin, this class is for you. Outstanding In Front also focuses on the leadership skills of section leaders and music team members who are interested in supporting the success of the music program during your weekly chapter meeting.
The goals of the Outstanding In Front program are:
• To provide an opportunity for individuals to gain an understanding of what it means to be a leader in front of an ensemble.
• To increase the directing, teaching and musical skill of our non-directors in a positive environment.
• To inspire men to entertain the thought that they could become a musical leader.
• To provide capable individuals able to assist their front-line director.
• To decrease director burnout.
• To have a broader base of talent upon which to draw when there is a director vacancy.
Some of the topics covered are:
• Conducting patterns, and their proper use.
• Elements of the warm-up
• Being a vocal coach
• Leadership qualities
• Proper posture
• Directing opportunities
During the coming months you will begin to see the Outstanding In Front program offered at various District and Division schools, but the great advantage to the program is that this personalized attention is offered at the chapter level for your direct benefit. The Chorus Director Development Committee is committed to providing you with a certified trainer, experienced in working with your various musical leaders, and those who are interested in becoming musical leaders, to enhance your weekly rehearsal experience. For more information or to schedule an Outstanding In Front program in your area, please contact Joe Cerutti, Vice Chairmen of the Chorus Director Development Committee for Outstanding In Front at joe.cerutti@gmail.com
