~Singin' A's~
We believe:
- Improvement comes from a long term commitment
to building slowly upon a strong foundation of musical fundamentals.
- Musical fundamentals are heirarchal, and
trying to take shortcuts only leads to short-term fixes, not
long term gains - there are no magic bullets.
- Improvements in fundamental areas inevitably
generate improvements in areas further down the line.
- The most important thing we can do as teachers
and coaches for the groups we work with is to communicate clearly
with each other and provide a unified front, which will lead
to a consistent message.
- Every singer and group should leave a coaching
session with ONE individual and ONE ensemble area of focus for
improvement for the next session, and that area of focus is not
to be changed until a sustainable quality improvement is attained.
