In my hundreds of hours working with senior and middle school choir directors and their choirs, I’ve noticed that conducting is often seen as equal parts terrifying, mystifying, and even “extra-musical.” I think that’s because too often as conductors we try to “perform at” instead of “dance with” our ensembles, and consequently end up accidentally tamping down a vital part of the group’s responsibility: creativity in the moment.
