QUESTION 25 OF 30

Speak about a time where you gave a solo to the wrong student. How did you change your course of action the next time?

Every choral director will make a mistake at some point in their career. The important thing is knowing how to fix it the next time. This part of reflection is essential for an interviewer to see how you have responded in times of challenge.

"There was one time where I picked a female student for a solo on a very challenging piece. They had the best voice for the song, but they did not have the work ethic. It turned out the solo did not go very well. I learned that sometimes I do not have to pick the best vocally pleasing singer, but rather the one who is most committed to working on their craft."
