Hi everyone! I'm a 22 year old music/cs student from Panama, and this is my second year conducting a choral camerata. Last year we performed a work with 14 movements/songs; I worked on the choral score book, doing plenty of editing/arranging. Needless to say, I became very familiar with the music just by working with the notation daily.
This year, we'll be performing a 40-minute, 12 movement work, and though it's less music than last year, it's also more complex (some more polyphony, countermelodies and syncopation). I'm very glad that the choir grew from 30 members to a little over 50, but I'm starting to get a little nervous.
I'm no professional conductor, I'm just a kid who started to learn piano when he was 8 and has kept going since. I sing bass in a semi-professional choir (exclusively classical sacred music repertoire), and have been doing that for 5 years, but that would be about the amount of choral experience I have singing-wise. Of course, I'm very thankful to have a handful of mentors to draw wisdom from, and the director of the sacred music choir is helping me out with conducting tips. I've adopted his style of conducting and incorporated it into my own as I learn.
Nonetheless, this year we have a larger lineup and even a few seasoned musicians (who have also been choral conductors). I am by far the youngest conductor (in-training) in the area, and even though I did have my first experience as a director last year, I feel a little intimidated. We're a church choir (members aren't from only one local church, but from several churches belonging to the organization), and most chorists don't read sheet music, but we're helping them slowly learn.
I'd really like some advice from singers and conductors! What tips would you give a young director (when the average age of the choir is 30)? What would make you lose or gain the respect of a musical leader much younger than yourself? How can I get rid of pre-rehearsal jitters? Any advice on how to best conduct amateur chorists?
Anything else would be highly appreciated! Thank you.
I was curious what genres were represented at the festival, so I used
the list of acts and the
Spotify API to gather a list of genres and artists.
Notes:
- I was only able to gather data for 373 acts out of the 2871 listed. This is due to some acts being comedy/talks, some having complicated labels (eg. "hedex b2b bou ft b live 247 & eksman"), or Spotify not having a genre for the artist.
- https://everynoise.com/ is a great resource that explores some of the genres listed here.
- The Sounds of Spotify have a playlist for every genre. They can be found by searching "The Sound of [genre name]" in the app.
- Crank Wave was the most common genre out of the 421 listed. This is due to the granularity of the features I think - 'rock' only has one artist but that's because there's 29 sub-genres of rock listed.
- Some artists may be mislabeled if they share a name with another artist of a different genre.
- I am working on formatting on reddit :^(

Hi everyone I would like what would be considered by most unorthodox relationship. To get the biggest thing out of the way, I would like what is called a female lead relationship. As a man I feel very secure in my masculinity, to the point where I don't feel emasculated if a woman leads, and I don't feel the need to tear other men down either. I feel that with such a role, as long as there is mutual respect and affection, I believe it can be a wonderful thing.
I would say I'm quite open-minded, and the most important thing in any relationship is that there are boundaries that stem from respect for each other which means that I won't be happy with anything that is done without discussion or behind my back and my partner can rest assured I'll treat her the same way. So with that out of the way, I'd like to introduce myself a bit.
Physically, Iâve got a face thatâs very easy on the eyes, but Iâd rather leave my face for when we get chatting.
I've got a charmed life overall, so whatever complaints I have are honestly small in comparison to what others go through. Nonetheless, we all have stressors. Therefore, I don't need drama, either from myself or from other people. Life is drama-free, and that's fantastic to say that.
To fill my time and creative expression, I love to:
Learn languages. I know a few and keep them up somewhat well. I speak several between a B2-C1 level. I also traveled for 5 years after school, so got plenty of adventures to share! And I'd like to see lovely places off the beaten path with you if you're getting close to my heart.
Dancing... I dance both Ballroom and Swing. Gotta say, I've got the knack for them both!
Go to the local sports centre, where I work on toning my slim body, as well as swim, and go to the sauna afterwards. While I'm not a fitness freak, keeping yourself somewhat active is a good balance and offsets sitting down all day.
Learn piano. I'm very much a beginner, but it brings out another part of me, just being able to lose myself in a musical instrument is a wonderful thing.
Buy clothes. Iâve got a lovely wardrobe, and it's really fun to wear colours and combinations that you never wore before!
Cook. Yes, I can cook, even though I don't always feel like it in the evening. I will eat anything, and sometimes, I just love a good, greasy and totally unhealthy Burger King meal! I also got a sweet tooth I can keep under control.
I do something called the Sedona Method, that involves getting rid of negative feelings and coming into your natural positive state. I find it makes a huge difference in my life, and I would certainly recommend others look at it to deal with pain and heavy feelings. It has helped me hugely in regards to what they call "emotional intelligence" (even if I don't like that expression too much anymore).
Speaking of sitting down, I work in an office for a public body in a junior management position, and I love my job! Currently applying for promotions, but if I don't get them, then it will be a small disappointment... I won't be in the shower in the fetal position.
I'm smart and careful with money, and am working and saving up toward having assets in the future. It's about having discipline and treating money like a responsible steward. I value others who are also smart with money.
Like what you read so far? Just message, ideally with what you liked about the post, to get something going and help me roll off from there. Just saying "hi" kills it and offers nothing. Cheers.
Hey there, I have been working in the trades as a Sheet Metal installer for many years. I have also been working on Audio, Visual design projects throughout the years. As my trades job is taking a toll on my body and I am turning 40, I completed a Graphic Design diploma a few years ago to see about switching careers.
I am hoping to find remote work in which any of my skills could be used - Illustration, Video Editing, Audio Production and Mixing, Graphic Design and basically anything within the arts. As I don't have experience working in any major studio it is hard to find an employer who can see my potential.
I really love and have a passion for these skills, and creating music, art, books and more is something I do in my free time as well. So, I am wondering if anyone can point me in a specific direction, or if anyone can use someone with hard work ethic built in the trades, and vast knowledge and experience built in the arts to complete outstanding projects that I can put in effort as if they were my own.
Thank you and I hope everyone has a great day!
I have created a solo piano arrangement of a song by another artist. The artist is on an indie label. The artist has also given me permission to print and sell my arrangement of their song in the form of sheet music for solo piano(doesnât require the song lyrics btw )Does anyone have a rough idea of what the pay split should be between the arranger (me) and the song writers for copies of the sheet music sold ?
