auditions, concerts, etc. In the words of student YR, "I think that we attract younger students into high school choir as well as recruit students already at the high school by highlighting the family-like and community-oriented nature of choir, as well as the many opportunities it can provide for leadership and broadening your musical ex- perience."
You can’t pour from an empty cup! Through these most unusual times, continue to find
ways to care for and nurture yourself. Shut the lid to the laptop at the end of the teaching day, and remove school email from your phone. For me, truly and completely unplugging from school has been freeing now that work life and home life have collided. Continuing with the idea of unplugging, I do what I can to get outside and away from electronics. When the weather prevents going outside, staying in to plan and cook a large meal has been cathartic. The end result of nurturing yourself is the best reward. By renewing our own energies, we can maintain the creativity and dedication to help students keep music and singing in their hearts and homes.
