The advice of Muriel Lacroix-Prongarbe

The point of view of Muriel Lacroix-Prongarbe, a committed entrepreneur

Because they often bring together people from horizons, experiences and different ages, choirs are frequently the scene of musical or relational, even intergenerational conflicts. This is what happens to your choir, Nicole, since the arrival of two new recruits. You have every interest in putting these problems on the table openly with all the members of your choir.

In the form of a more or less formal meeting during which you will each encourage to express their feelings and concerns without being interrupted or judged. This will promote mutual understanding and should defuse tensions. These newcomers may like another style of music, more “current”, and are not found in the proposed repertoire. In this case, they will be able to reorient themselves towards a choir more in accordance with their desires.

But if they want to stay with you, remember to enhance, whenever possible, new ideas, contributions, sharing of experiences. Dear Nicole, the goal being to take pleasure in singing and to give it to your audience, it is worth doing everything to get there. And… good concert!
