Psalm 100
I felt that friday went alright. After getting up in front of the group, I felt like my biggest problem was the fact that I put so much pressure on myself, I couldn't do anything that I really wanted to, because I was terrified and had no faith in my own abilities.
Obviously, as a conductor and educator, we must be confident in our own abilities and learn to overcome weaknesses, which is something we are all pushing through at the beginner stages. I also realized that Matt is extremely correct in the fact that I tend to step back and let the choir do what they do, and sometimes I made to take more control of the reigns. I feel like this is very true. I used to be a control freak, and coming to the u has made me realize that sometimes trying to control everything will just drive you crazy. I think that I can learn a lot about balancing this in my conducting from my colleagues.
