I’ll be sharing a real-life choir experience about this in my next post. But first, let’s be honest.
If someone has already served as a Choir Mistress, Music Director, or Choir Master— you don’t bring them into a new parish and treat them like a beginner.
That’s not structure. That’s disregard for experience.
Yes, every choir has its rules. But rules are meant to guide growth, not ignore capacity.
If a person has led before, trained voices, handled sections, built systems;
what exactly are you “probating” again? I just taya🤣🤣 At most, you observe and confirm what is already obvious.
Because choir is not where people come to start life from scratch every time they relocate.
Let’s call it what it is: Sometimes, it’s not about rules, it’s about people not knowing how to manage experience when they see it.
So here’s the question:
When experience enters a choir, should it be recognized immediately or delayed in the name of “tradition”?
Be honest 👀
(My next post—my personal story—might just shake this table small 😌)
