THE CHORAL DIRECTOR'S M.A.P.
From Uncertainty to Confident Leadership
A 12-week, one-on-one coaching journey for new and early-career choir directors who want to grow as musicians, conductors, and leaders.
You may know the music. You may have studied conducting. But stepping onto the podium and leading a real ensemble is different.
The M.A.P. gives you an experienced mentor to walk alongside you as you navigate the transition from knowing how to conduct to knowing how to lead.
THE M.A.P. AT A GLANCE:
12 WEEKS | 1:1 COACHING | PRACTICAL APPLICATION | FLEXIBLE ROADMAP
12 WEEKS
One 60-minute coaching session each week
PERSONALIZED COACHING
Your experience, strengths, and challenges shape our work together
PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Between sessions, you'll study, prepare, rehearse, practice, and apply what we're working on
A FLEXIBLE ROADMAP
Three areas of growth, adapted to where you need the most supportThis is a Paragraph Font
M.A.P.
I. MASTERING MUSIC
Laying the Foundation
Develop the skills and understanding to know your music deeply and make intentional artistic decisions.
Score study • Analysis • Repertoire • Musical interpretation
II. AMPLIFYING ARTISTRY
Bringing It to Life
Translate what you hear in your head into meaningful communication with your singers.
Rehearsal planning • Teaching • Conducting • Communication
III. “PERFECTING” PERFORMANCE
Stepping Onto the Stage
Bring the music, ensemble, and your leadership together with greater confidence, clarity, and artistic purpose.
Performance preparation • Problem-solving • Leadership • Artistic presence
THE M.A.P. GIVES YOU A ROADMAP—NOT A FORMULA.
This isn't a checklist or a one-size-fits-all course.
We'll ideally spend about four weeks in each area, but your journey will be shaped around you. If you need more time with score study, we'll spend more time there. If rehearsal leadership or conducting is where you're growing, we'll adjust.
Between sessions, you'll have practical work to put your learning into action—and we'll use our next coaching session to reflect, refine, and move forward.
The goal isn't to make you conduct like me. It's to help you discover your own artistic voice and lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

FIRST CONCERT BLUEPRINT
Your first concert. A clearer path forward.
Your first concert as a new choir director can feel overwhelming. Let's work through it together so you can approach the performance with greater clarity and confidence.
We'll focus on what you need most:
Repertoire selection — choosing music that serves your choir and your goals
Rehearsal planning — making the most of your preparation time
Problem spots — anticipating challenges and finding solutions
Performance preparation — bringing everything together for concert day
MASTERWORKS SERIES
Prepare with Insight, Conduct with Confidence.
Preparing a major choral-orchestral work is a significant undertaking. This focused, four-week coaching series helps you explore a work in depth, strengthen your musical interpretation, and prepare to lead your choir in collaboration with an orchestra.
From the Verdi Requiem and Brahms Requiem to Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms or Handel’s Messiah, we'll choose a work together and tailor our sessions to your needs.
Four weeks. One masterwork. A clearer artistic vision.Preparing a major choral work with orchestra? Get personalized guidance in score study, musical interpretation, rehearsal planning, and preparing your chorus for performance.
CONDUCTING AND REHEARSAL COACHING
A focused plan. Practical solutions. More confident rehearsals.
Sometimes, you don't need a long-term program. You need an experienced colleague to help you work through a specific challenge.
Whether you want to refine your conducting technique, make rehearsals more productive, or find a better approach to a difficult musical passage, we'll focus on what matters most to you and your choir.
Your coaching experience may include:
Conducting technique — refining gestures and communicating musical intent
Rehearsal strategies — making the most of your rehearsal time
Musical problem-solving — finding effective ways to address challenging passages
Personalized feedback — identifying what’s working and what you can improve
2–4 sessions, tailored to your needs.
