How to Prepare for Choir Rehearsal
A productive rehearsal begins long before the choir gathers. The quality of every rehearsal depends on how well each member prepares beforehand.
As a choir director and music instructor, I’ve discovered that the most successful rehearsals are not those where people come to learn everything from scratch—they are those where members arrive prepared, focused, and ready to contribute.
Preparation is a sign of respect for the choir, the director, and the music you have been entrusted to present.
- Spend Time with the Music
Don’t wait until rehearsal to hear the songs for the first time. Listen to the recordings, study your vocal part, and become familiar with the melody, rhythm, and lyrics.
Personal preparation makes group rehearsals more productive.
2. Warm Up Your Voice
Your voice is your instrument, and every instrument performs better when properly prepared.
Spend 10–15 minutes doing breathing exercises, humming, lip trills, and vocal scales before rehearsal. A warmed-up voice is more flexible, controlled, and less likely to become strained.
3. Pray and Prepare Your Mind
Whether your choir serves in ministry or performs professionally, mental and spiritual preparation are important..
Leave behind unnecessary distractions and come with a willingness to learn, receive correction, and contribute positively to the team.
A focused mind leads to a focused rehearsal.
4. Arrive Early
Being early gives you time to settle in, greet your team, organize your music, and warm up without rushing.
Punctuality reflects professionalism and respect for everyone’s time.
5. Bring Everything You Need
Come prepared with your music folder, notebook, pencil, water bottle, tablet, or any materials required for rehearsal.
Being prepared minimizes interruptions and keeps rehearsals flowing smoothly.
6. Review Previous Corrections
If the choir director gave corrections during the last rehearsal, take time to practice them before the next one.
Growth happens when corrections are applied—not merely heard.
7. Come Ready to Listen
Rehearsal is more than singing. It is a time to listen carefully to instructions, blend with other voices, and work together toward a common goal.
A choir that listens well learns faster.
8. Bring the Right Attitude
Perhaps the most important preparation is your attitude.
Come with humility, patience, teachability, and a willingness to support your fellow choir members. Encourage others, avoid distractions, and focus on contributing to the success of the entire team.
Great rehearsals are built by people with great attitudes.
Conclusion
Choir rehearsal is not just about learning songs—it’s about building excellence together. Every member contributes to the atmosphere, the progress, and the final performance.
When everyone arrives prepared, rehearsals become more efficient, music becomes more expressive, and the choir grows stronger with every session.
Preparation doesn’t guarantee perfection, but it gives excellence the opportunity to thrive.
Reflection
If every member of your choir prepared the way you do, how much more effective would your next rehearsal be?

Choir Etiquette Everyone Should Know
A successful choir is built on more than beautiful voices. It is built on respect, discipline, teamwork, and professionalism. No matter how talented a singer may be, poor attitude and careless habits can weaken the effectiveness of the entire team.
As a choir director and mentor, I’ve learned that the strongest choirs are not necessarily those with the best singers—they are those where every member understands that excellence begins with character.
Here are some essential principles of choir etiquette every chorister should practice:
- Be Punctual
Arriving on time is a sign of respect for your choir director and fellow choir members. It gives you time to settle in, warm up your voice, and prepare mentally for rehearsal or performance.
Punctuality reflects commitment.
2. Come Prepared
Don’t rely solely on rehearsals to learn your part. Practice at home, review recordings, and familiarize yourself with the music before rehearsal.
Prepared singers help rehearsals become productive instead of repetitive.
3. Listen More Than You Speak
When the director is giving instructions, listen attentively. Avoid unnecessary conversations, side comments, or distractions.
Listening carefully reduces mistakes and helps the entire choir move forward together.
4. Respect Every Team Member
Every singer plays an important role, regardless of voice part or experience. Encourage one another, avoid unhealthy competition, and celebrate each other’s growth.
A choir thrives when members build one another up.
5. Receive Correction with Humility
Corrections are meant to improve the choir, not embarrass individuals. Accept feedback positively and use it as an opportunity to grow.
A teachable attitude is one of the greatest strengths a singer can have.
6. Maintain Professionalism on and off the Platform
Your appearance, posture, attitude, and conduct all communicate something about you and your team.
Represent your choir with dignity, humility, and excellence wherever you go.
7. Stay Focused During Performances
Avoid unnecessary movements, conversations, or distractions while on stage. Maintain good posture, follow the conductor, and remain engaged from beginning to end.
Professionalism is often noticed in the smallest details.
8. Protect the Unity of the Choir
Avoid gossip, unnecessary criticism, and unresolved conflicts. Address concerns respectfully and seek solutions that strengthen relationships.
Unity creates an environment where great music can flourish.
Conclusion
Choir etiquette is not about following rules for the sake of rules. It is about creating a culture of respect, excellence, and teamwork where every member can contribute their best.
When each chorister values discipline as much as talent, rehearsals become more productive, performances become more impactful, and the choir becomes a place where people grow—not only as singers, but also as individuals.
Great choirs are remembered not only for how beautifully they sang, but for how well they worked together.
Reflection
What is one habit you can improve that would make you a stronger and more dependable member of your choir?
“Your voice may earn you a place in the choir, but your attitude, discipline, and respect determine the value you bring to the team.” — Victor Adenola

Learning Faster with Daily Practice
Many musicians believe that making rapid progress requires practicing for several hours every day. While long practice sessions have their place, they are not the secret to consistent improvement. In my experience as a music instructor and mentor, the musicians who progress the fastest are often those who practice consistently, not necessarily the longest.
Daily practice builds momentum. It strengthens muscle memory, improves concentration, and helps musical concepts become second nature. Just as a language is learned through regular use, music is mastered through regular engagement.
The key is not to ask, “How long should I practice?” but rather, “How well am I using the time I have?”
- Consistency Outperforms Intensity
Practicing for 30 focused minutes every day is often more effective than practicing for three hours once a week.
Frequent practice helps your mind and body retain what you’ve learned, making each session a continuation of the previous one rather than a fresh start.
Small, consistent efforts produce remarkable long-term results.
2. Practice with a Clear Purpose
Avoid practicing without direction.
Before you begin, identify one or two goals for the session:
- Improve a difficult passage.
- Strengthen your rhythm.
- Refine your tone.
- Memorize a section of music.
- Improve sight-reading or ear training.
Purposeful practice leads to measurable progress.
3. Focus on Quality, Not Quantity
Practicing while distracted or repeating mistakes without correction can slow your progress.
Stay fully engaged during your practice session. Play slowly when necessary, pay attention to details, and stop to correct errors before repeating them.
Deliberate practice always beats careless repetition.
4. Build a Balanced Practice Routine
An effective daily session should include:
- Warm-ups
- Technical exercises
- Repertoire or songs
- Sight-reading
- Ear training
- Music theory or musicianship
- A few minutes of enjoyable playing or singing
A balanced routine develops complete musicianship.
5. Review Before Learning Something New
Growth doesn’t come from constantly adding new material. It also comes from strengthening what you’ve already learned.
Spend a few minutes reviewing previous lessons before moving on to new ones. This reinforces confidence and improves retention.
6. Track Your Progress
Keep a simple practice journal.
Record what you practiced, what improved, and what still needs attention. Looking back over weeks and months will remind you how far you’ve come and keep you motivated.
Progress becomes more encouraging when you can see it.
7. Be Patient with the Process
Every musician experiences days when improvement feels slow.
Don’t mistake slow progress for no progress. Skills are often developing beneath the surface before they become noticeable. Stay committed, trust the process, and allow time to work in your favour.
Excellence is built one practice session at a time.
Conclusion
There is no shortcut to becoming a skilled musician, but there is a proven path: consistent, intentional practice.
Every scale you play or sing, every exercise you complete, every correction you apply, and every challenge you overcome brings you one step closer to your goals.
You don’t have to be perfect every day—you simply need to keep showing up.
Your future as a musician is shaped less by occasional bursts of effort and more by the habits you faithfully repeat.
Reflection
If you committed to just 30 minutes of focused practice every day for the next three months, how different would your musicianship become?
“Great musicians are not built by occasional inspiration, but by daily dedication. Every practice session is an investment in the musician you are becoming.” — Victor Adenola

“Polio swept through #Winnipeg in the early ’50s. Neil had it and I did too. So did my brothers. We all had it at the same time. But Neil was always very focused. It didn’t matter what obstacle was there, he overcame it. I felt the same.
Neil and I were among a bunch of teenage guys who were learning how to play guitar and starting #bands in Winnipeg. Every Sunday, there was a #RadioShow called Hello Britain, where they’d play all the top hits from #England. It might be #ShaneFenton And The Fentones or Cliff Richard And #TheShadows. Then it was just The Shadows or #TheOutlaws. We copied all this stuff and played it on stage.
We’d get the bus to the community centre and Neil would be there with #TheSquires. We’d stay there all night and watch them. I was pretty amazed when he started playing the folk clubs on his own. He radically changes his mind and his direction, to the shock of everyone. But then, he’s done this all his life. I used to go the #Riverboat [Coffee House] in #Toronto all the time. I saw #GordonLightfoot, #JoniMitchell and Ramblin’ #JackElliott. It was quite fantastic. I saw Neil many times there, just acoustic. I’d think, ‘Yeah, he can do it. He can be a folk singer.’
When I left in ’65 to tour the States with #TheGuessWho I sent a note back to Neil, saying, “You gotta get out of town. This is where you really get appreciated.” So he left and went to #ThunderBay, then #FortWilliam, and met #StephenStills. Then – boom – he started #BuffaloSpringfield.”

Today is Bandcamp Friday.
Don’t know what that means?
Bandcamp is a platform where musicians sell their music. So you buy it instead of streaming it. (I know, stay with me.) On Bandcamp Friday they wave fees, so artists get 100% of their revenue.
Today I’m gonna buy Kishi Bashi's “Tall Tall Trees & The Sound Sanctuary” and pre-order Russian Circles’ “Nine.”
Go find something you love:
P.S. If you have music on Bandcamp, @ me on a post linking to your music. Unless you’re a fascist I’ll boost it. Hopefully others will, too.

Wenn du Musizierende oder Bands kennst, ..
sag denen, sie können uns helfen, eine Fair Pay Plattform aufzubauen, indem sie sich einfach in 2 Minuten auf https://artists.tipino.app anmelden und dann ihr Profil dort drin claimen.
Recht kleiner Schritt aber wir brauchen Artists auf der Plattform (und zahlen bis über 33x soviel wie SPotify & Co pro STream) irgendwie auch nice.

Five Habits of Great Musicians
Behind every remarkable musician is a set of habits that shape their growth long before the audience hears the applause. While talent may open the door, it is daily discipline that keeps it open.
Here are five habits that consistently set great musicians apart:
- They Practice with Purpose:
Great musicians don’t just spend time practicing—they practice with intention. They identify areas for improvement, set clear goals, and focus on making each session meaningful rather than simply putting in hours.
2. They Never Stop Learning:
Music is constantly evolving. Whether through books, mentors, masterclasses, or listening to others, great musicians remain lifelong students. They understand that every experience offers something new to learn.
3. They Welcome Feedback:
Constructive feedback is not a threat—it’s a tool for growth. Great musicians seek honest input, reflect on it, and use it to refine their skills and broaden their perspective.
4. They Value Character as Much as Skill:
Technical ability may earn opportunities, but integrity, humility, reliability, and respect build lasting relationships. Great musicians understand that who they are is just as important as what they can do.
5. They Stay Consistent:
Success is rarely the result of one outstanding performance. It is built through countless moments of preparation, perseverance, and commitment. Great musicians continue showing up, even when progress seems slow, because they trust the process.
Developing these habits won’t make you successful overnight, but they will steadily shape you into the kind of musician others trust, respect, and remember.
Reflection
Which of these five habits is your greatest strength, and which one do you need to develop further?
“Every accomplished musician is the product of small, intentional habits repeated consistently with discipline over time.” — Victor Adenola

Doc Pop: Bandcamp Has A Spam Problem. “Spammers are registering unclaimed Bandcamp usernames for artists like The Murder City Devils, Shudder to Think, and DJ Spooky.

The Journey to Excellence
Every remarkable achievement begins with a decision to improve.
In music—and in life—lasting excellence is shaped by the choices we make each day. It’s found in the willingness to learn something new, refine what we’ve already learned, unlearn where necessary, and embrace every opportunity to grow.
True development isn’t measured by how quickly you advance, but by how intentionally you invest in your craft. Every lesson expands your knowledge. Every challenge strengthens your character. Every experience adds depth to your journey.
Rather than striving for instant results, focus on building a strong foundation. Skills developed with care and consistency become the confidence you rely on when opportunities arise.
Growth also requires patience with yourself. There will be moments of breakthrough and moments of stretching, but both are valuable. Every stage has something to teach, and every season prepares you for the next.
Whatever your role—musician, singer, producer, choir member, music leader, or aspiring talent—never stop sharpening your gift. The pursuit of excellence is a lifelong adventure, and every step forward brings new possibilities.
Reflection
What is one intentional step you can take this week to become better than you were last week?
“Perfection is not a destination you stumble upon; it is the reward of consistent progress pursued with patience, discipline, and determination.” — Victor Adenola
