I have plenty of imposter syndrome when it comes to directing a choir, because my training is entirely observation and a bit of mentoring.

This week one portion of my choir's anthem kept feeling shaky and rough in rehearsal. Pondering it afterwards, I figured out where the problem lay, figured out how to explain it, and devised a warmup to correct the problem.

It worked like a dream; the spot smoothed out, and choir sounded amazing and were proud of themselves.

(music geeks-- there was a short series of cascading entries. They were hitting each entry just slightly late, and falling out of sync. I had them echo short phrases I sang until they got the feeling of doing so in rhythm with no lag.)
