I've watched a video about conducting entitled "Making Music Alive". I really admire the conductor Lloyd Faustch who is being featured in the video. Presented are the 3 methods that are used in choral teaching which he called 3 keystones: Warm-up, Breathing and Diction. I am thinking if there can be additional methods used aside from the three. Please shed light on this.
I was also struck about his statement that the choir members tend to imitate the voice of the conductor. It is rather dangerous to do it because they don't actually understand how the conductor uses his voice in terms of technique. I have made my own comments about it and would be glad to hear some comments from you too.Thank you.
