QUESTION 5 OF 30

How do you work through jealousy in a choir?

Competition can bring the worst out in people. But, a quality teacher speaks about competition and how it grows community, not hurts it. Share with the interviewer how you communicate this with choral classes.

"Jealousy presents itself in any choir. But, I work to talk about this early and often with my classes. Choirs need to be a family. If they are not, choirs fails. I want to get the best out of my choirs, so this is essential for success."
