Choirwire S2 | Episode 5 - Navigating the Shift: Taking Over a New-to-You Program
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Stepping into a new choir room brings a unique mix of high energy and immediate culture shock. Between student pushback, administrative surprises, and the ghost of "how we used to do it," taking over a program—whether a legacy giant or a blank slate—demands serious strategy.
In this episode, we sit down to talk through the raw reality of choir room transitions. We dive into how to honor past traditions without sacrificing your vision, how to stay grounded when the job looks different than the interview, and how to harness that rare "clean slate" energy to build the exact culture your singers need.
