7 | Are You In a Repertoire Rut?
Choosing repertoire for young singers (any singer, really) is by far, one of the biggest challenges for vocalists and voice teachers. In this podcast, host Nikki Loney looks at common voice teacher complaints and discusses why finding great music is such a chore! She may even have some strategies that you might not have thought about.
Here are some of the challenges we address:
- Challenge #1 – Finding repertoire for new students.
- Challenge #2 – Students want to sing songs that are not appropriate for their age or ability.
- Challenge #2a – Parents want their kids to sing songs that are not appropriate.
- Challenge #3 – (Ok, I screwed, up. there is no #3. I miscounted when recording the podcast.) 😉
- Challenge # 4 – Young singers can’t relate to conservatory repertoire.
- Challenge # 5 – You can’t relate to the music your students want to perform.
- Challenge # 6 – Your students don’t have the sheet music for the songs they want to sing.
