Jon, really good tips and it made me laugh too, especially the part, “i’m not everywhere.”

I enjoy your blog and your Twitter posts, thanks for making me smile!

Fabulous parable! The last sentence says it well, “A choir isn’t an event, it’s a community.” And community doesn’t happen by missing 20 rehearsals and then trying to show up. On the contrary, community happens by showing up!

I love the parable, Jon. It seems like there’s something to be said here about one’s motivation – and perhaps your parable says it better than I could. Underlying your many specific points is that issue of whether it’s about “me” or “we” … whether I can hear the beauty of the harmony “we” can produce that “I” never could.

I think knowing each other and being comfortable with each other gives a sense of support.

I’ve been in and out of rock bands throughout my music career and I’ve seen people come and go.

It’s all kind of like a good marriage. Providing mutual support for the end goal can leads to wondrous things.

so knowing each other is even more important that knowing the music? You mean it gives a context for learning?

Thanks, Dave. perfect example.

To your point, my wife sings in a choir or vocal group. The same basic core group of people for over 15 years now.

They know each other so well and are all fine musicians that they literally devour new pieces and churn out the same show stopping stares of awe from the audience.

Rock on!
