The Opportunity to Serveby Tim Lautzenheiser / James Jordan With the Central Bucks West High School Choir
To build a successful high school music program is to empower student leaders. But what does it really mean to be a student leader? How can they make a difference?
In this brilliant DVD, master clinician Tim Lautzenheiser speaks to the students of the Central Bucks West High School choir and band about how to bring leadership thinking into their everyday lives and music making. He offers a clear perspective of what is possible when young leaders choose excellence as the foundation of their leadership mission.
James Jordan encourages these same students to keep focus on why they connect through music, and on the rewards that come from those connections.
And together, James and Tim discuss the risk-taking that is needed by both conductor and ensemble when true music happens.
This DVD is a companion to the definitive choral methods text The School Choral Program, which breaks new ground in choral music education and provides choral directors with the tools they need to be successful in the classroom and at the podium.

Connecting with your choir
The ideas in this video are very broad and abstract, but can make all the difference when thinking about how to connect with your choir. Tim talks in bullets and quotes about leadership qualities, and is very entertaining. He plays some games with the students to illustrate motivational ideas of competition vs. cooperation. However, I get more out of the end of the video, where James Jordan talks to the choir. Jordan has a presence of talking that is so focused and energized that he can make a whisper seem important. His passion for great communication is evident, and he doesn't mince words. His message: Be honest and vunerable, and always be totally aware of the energy in your room. The DVD is almost 2 hours long, and worth the price if you are a new teacher, trying to improve your presence and leadership in front of your choir (however, I wouldn't call the DVD "instructional"). The videography is sketchy, and sometimes extremely quiet, but it was a live setting.
