What You'll Learn

How do you get the very best out of your choir? Do their voices blend, can they sing in tune a capella, how do I get the most out of my conducting gestures, should you consider performance practice, should your choir use glottal attacks, what are good rehearsal techniques? So many questions are answered in this course with strategies for you to use with your singers.

Suzi shares her wisdom and techniques for key areas of choral conducting that every choral director should consider as part of his/her training sessions with a choir.

Suzi’s experience in the choral world is second-to-none. What you will gain from this course is a mixture of wisdom that can only be gained from experience and strategies that you can implement to make a difference with your own choirs.

Your Maestro Teacher

Suzi Digby OBE is a British choral director of the greatest repute and respected as an astonishing music educator. She has the ability to connect with people around her, inspire them incredibly, and then, with kindness and love, she demands and achieves excellence from all that have the honour to work with her. Suzi began singing at the age of 3.

She talks about the greatest live experiences in her career from Beirut to Soweto, to conducting a scratch youth Messiah in the Royal Albert Hall with 2000 young singers. Her final pearl of wisdom? “Keep your ego out. You have to be true to yourself and have enough self-esteem that you can be vulnerable and authentic. If you essentially don’t love people, there’s a problem and that will always seep out.”

She is a visiting professor at the University of Southern California for Choral Studies. She has presented for BBC Wales on “BBC Cardiff Singer of the World” competition and has adjudicated for the BBC’s “Last Choir Standing”. She is a past president of ISM and former Acting Music Director for Queen’s College, Cambridge. Venues that she has conducted are numerous and very significant: The Royal Albert Hall, St Martin in the Fields, King’s College Cambridge, Glastonbury main stage, Hyde Park, O2 and many besides. Orchestras that have performed under her direction include the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Mozart Players, English Concert Orchestra, Brandenburg Festival Orchestra and more. She was the official conductor for the Rolling Stones.
