The Confident Choir is an exploration of conditions affecting the confidence levels in singers of all levels to create an accessible synthesis of the psychological models and offer practical confidence-building strategies for conductors, teachers, community musicians, and workshop leaders. Michael Bonshor combines his experience as a singing teacher and choral director with a series of in-depth interviews that give an intimate depiction of the challenges faced by the contemporary choral singer. These insights provide the basis for a range of suggested techniques to bolster confidence and reduce anxiety in the group-singing context. This book is primarily designed as a guide for leaders of amateur group singing activities and is relevant to choirs of all sizes and genres. The content will appeal to singers, teachers, and choir leaders; students and scholars in the fields of choral research, community music, music psychology, and adult education; and educators training the musical leaders of the future.

How do you improve performance? Performance expert Robin Stuart-Kotze reveals that it's all about behaviour and lets us into the secrets of behavioural change that have helped successful people, teams and managers around the world to get ahead, and stay ahead. Behaviour is what drives performance. Personality is not the issue. Definitive scientific research shows that less than 10% of the variance in a person's behaviour is explained by personality. Behaviour is the actions you take and the decisions you make; things you can control. This incisive book shows you how to look critically at your current behaviour, recognise what you need to do differently and how to consciously improve your behaviour to meet the changing requirements of your job with top-level performance.
