#13 Astrid Jorgensen

Astrid Jorgensen is the founder and conductor of Pub Choir.

 

"With a show that is equal parts music, comedy, and beer, Pub Choir is a euphoric sensation that transforms a crowd of tipsy strangers into a legendary choir." (From the Pub Choir website)

 

Astrid is the ringleader of these events, and I sat down with her to find out how she does it. Choir leaders of all types will have something to learn from the success of Pub Choir.

 

Expect to learn:

• How Astrid selects and arranges songs for regular crowds of 1000+ singers
• Why large and small groups need to be rehearsed differently
• What to do when the singers don't sing the notes you taught them
• What to do at the start each rehearsal to get everyone feeling focused and present
• Why it's important that EVERYONE is given the chance to make music - not just the professionals
• And much more...
