Humans First!

LIVE Zoom Masterclass: Tuesday, August 19th   

4:00pm PST //   6:00pm CST //   7:00pm EST //   

Before the harmonies, before the perfect vowels, there’s one thing that matters most: the people singing them. In this high-energy session, we’ll explore how to create a choir culture that feels like home—where belonging, confidence, and joy fuel musical excellence. You’ll leave with practical strategies, fresh inspiration, and a reminder that when you care for the human first, everything else falls beautifully into place.

• Prioritize the person over the product – how centering the student’s humanity leads to stronger musicianship and lasting trust.
• Belonging as the foundation – practical ways to create an environment where every singer feels valued, seen, and safe to take risks.
• Building confidence through intentional wins – strategies to help students believe in their abilities and own their growth.
• Excellence without burnout – pushing for high standards while protecting joy, mental health, and community spirit.
• Transformative relationships – how authentic care deepens engagement, motivation, and musical results.
• Culture before curriculum – why investing in people first accelerates both artistry and achievement.
