17 Tips Awesome Choir Demo Lesson Tips To Land Your Job!

If you’ve made it past the interview round, many jobs ask you to give a choir demo lesson.

If you’ve made it past the interview round, there’s a good chance you may be asked to give a choral demo lesson. With so many unknown variables, running a demo rehearsal can be super hard to plan for:

Who will be observing in the room? 

How do we expect the students to behave? 

How prepared with the music will the students be? 

What does the current teacher expect from the students in their rehearsal? 

How many different demo lessons have these same students already sat through?

 

With all of these variables, there are a few things that you do know:

  • someone other than the students will be observing you
  • how the students respond to you will determine how successful you are

It is important to understand that at your Demo Lesson, all observers will see things precisely how they are; what they see and hear is all they will evaluate. In one rehearsal, you must start strong, build momentum while developing rapport with the students and finish with a clear improvement, closure and a positive connection; there is no yesterday, no tomorrow, no other teacher and no upcoming performance.

You must bring both the students and the observers on a journey. We must set and accomplish short-term goals, demonstrate varied activities and levels of student engagement. At the end of the rehearsal, we must tie up all loose ends.

With that in mind, I have 17 Choir Demo Lesson Tips to share with you. These tips will ensure you have an amazing demo lesson!
