Conductors are trained to lead either a rehearsal OR a concert. But how can you lead an Open Singing – this strange mixture of concert AND rehearsal? How do you deal with the manifold expectations and types of participants? What kind of repertoire is recommended? What are methods, strategies and organisational key points?
The new song book „Sing along!“ by Michael Gohl and Jan Schumacher does not only provide a wide range of suitable songs, it also contains a full basket of tips and tricks. In this workshop Michael Gohl will also make references to the daily Open Singings in the festival.
