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...
