Source: [[Lloyd, Kimcherie]] > Go into rehearsal with plan. Including when to make comments, when to run again, etc. Rehearse in order. 3 2.5hr rehearsals and concert. If one movement is harder, play preceeding first, then you can go back. Stopping requires stopping. Let them play. They will fix many things themselves; our job is to identify what they need our help with. Back to front or front to back ([['Chariots']] rehearsal by [[Martin, Joey]]. If you can't do the entire thing, address spots in order. Complicated transitions every rehearsal. - [[Only rehearse that which needs director assistance]] From [[McCoy, Jerry]]'s lecture [[1.2017-02 - ACDA Minneapolis]] > Conduct like string player plays. No sudden movements unless you really mean it. Yo-yo, basketball. Gesture that moves air. Conduct in to middle, rebound up and out. Cauldron in front of you with choir's sound. Put hands in, feel sound. Cue high notes low. No audible breath on cue. Hands where you want breath to go. Body movements sympathetic to music wanted and what the choir needs. Tai chi.
