This episode in 2019 is the most downloaded Choir Baton Podcast Episode ever. And I get it. This time of year is insane.

But last year it wasn’t. Or if it was crazy for you, chances are it wasn’t because you were in a million different performances - you were probably dealing with the pandemic in your own way and with your own family stuff.

Did you promise yourself last year that you wouldn’t let your life get too stressful again? And yet find yourself stressed again?

You are not alone. And here are several tips and reminders I want to share with you to remind you it doesn’t have to be the most stressful time of the year.

Burnout is real. In this episode, I encourage you to do less. There is always more we can do as choral musicians and directors. But in order to be able to continue doing what we do, we need to cut down on overloading ourselves.

Jenna and discuss the importance of having "choir and ____." As choir teachers, we can get caught up in our work and it become the only thing we do. However, we all have many gifts and abilities. We talk about some different ways to incorporate those in school or outside of the classroom.

Jessica Grant and I discuss common themes that I think most, if not all, music teachers can relate to. Amongst other topics we discuss the feeling of belonging and that you are enough and how we can communicate these things to ourselves as well as our students. We also discuss what it means to measure achievement by growth rather than specific goals.

You can find Jessica on Instagram @highafternoonti and buy her book on F Flat or Amazon.

Hey Choir Baton Podcast Listeners,

Listen to the basic Choir Baton Choral Musicianship framework I use in the Choir Baton Teaching Membership and courses with friend and middle school choir teacher Benny Dominguez. Benny reached out to me on some questions regarding sequencing, pacing, and more - you’ll get to listen and learn right along with Benny as I walk him through the CBTM way.

I had three profound conversations about leadership over the past week and I couldn't not share them with the Choir Baton community. I think we are all familiar with the problem of taking on too many projects and staying busy, as teachers or as musicians. This episode is for you to let you know three important lessons that I learned this week and am still learning on how to be a stronger leader.
