When I talk with choir directors about planning and preparing for the new year, before we get into anything else, we start by talking about setting goals.  In Part 1 of my "Back to School" Podcast Series, I talk about five reasons why you should be setting goals, as well as best practices that we should use when setting our own goals.What are your goals for this year?  Send me an email at:  Matt@choirdirectorcorner.com and let me know, I'd love to hear what you are working on!  Looking for an online community of choir directors, just like you?
