Do you have fun in rehearsals? Do your students have fun in rehearsals? Maybe not every minute of every rehearsal, but in general? I am convinced that if the first is true, the second will be too. I love rehearsals. I really do. They are some of the most intense moments in my life, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be enjoyable. I want my students to see that profoundly hard work can also be profoundly enjoyable. Not by me telling them so, but by me living it. Now I know there are a lot of times when my students roll their eyes with the thought that I really need to “get a life,” and maybe I cherish that equally as much.
