Performing in a choir concert Los Angeles in California can give you a lot of confidence. The confidence may come from self-awareness, self-discipline and the sheer amount of practice that is part of the learning process. Here are some ways in which participating in a choir can increase self-confidence and boost your self-esteem.
Conductor
Despite a lot of jokes about what the purpose of a conductor is on stage, conductors are actually very important in the musical process. The conductor is a guide through the process of pointing out some important aspects and learning the music. There is trust that develops between choristers and conductors and the trust can be seen on stage when the conductor has to manage the moving parts of a performance. Trust is an inherent aspect of confidence. Trust allows singers in classical music concerts to get in front of people and concentrate on the performance.
Opportunity to perform
Choirs have at least two large concerts that are part of their singing season. There are also other singing engagements throughout the year. This makes choristers have a lot of opportunities to rehearse and practice performing. With every performance or concert, the choristers become more confident and self-assured in their ability to stand up in front of people and sing.
Peer to peer learning
Knowing those around you support you brings confidence. The better way to support someone is by teaching them. Choristers are not just there to learn about music from their conductor. They also learn from those sitting around them. Peer to peer mentorship is encouraged to create a collaborative setting and confidence.
Part of a team
When choristers get up to perform in a choir concert Los Angeles in California, they know that they will not be up there by themselves. They know they will have the rest of the choir with them and this builds confidence.
