[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From the Front of the Choir]
I aim to please everyone in my choirs and singing workshops. I know it’s an impossible task (see Keeping a choir happy – you can’t please everyone), but I try.
How do you know when you’ve got the balance right and you’re keeping the majority happy?
I always ask for feedback at the end of my singing workshops and I occasionally hand out feedback questionnaires to my choirs.
Here are some typical responses:
Usually the extreme responses come from just one or two people. If they balance each other out (i.e. come equally from both extremes) then I reckon I’ve got things right.
But if there is a bias towards one extreme or many people make the same comment, then it’s time to re-evaluate and make changes.
How do you work out if you’ve got the balance right?
