Why are so many predators color blind?  They can ignore information that is not helpful and focus on what will be their next meal. Barbershop directors: we have ALL stopped and reminded our groups about errors involving an incorrect breath, word, pitch, or move! What if we spoke less and rehearsed more?

Donny will introduce S.M.A.R.T. goals to directors (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound), where volunteer students will be both directors and chorus members with the instructor acting as coach. This type of instruction is most successful for adult learners, and will make a 2 hour rehearsal feel like 15 minutes... instead of the other way around.
