Hi-

Thank you both for your suggestions.  I feel much more confident with our

Hi-

This autumn I have joined our local community chorus.  I have memorized the
various songs we will perform.  I do have an issue I would love some
advice/recommendations with.

How do you follow the director through the various aspects of the score that
she will indicate via visual prompts?  I have only a little light perception
and have been holding back a smidge on my reactions to hear what other
members are doing. I really hope, however, there is a better strategy I
could use.  

Thanks in advance for your time in helping me.

Diane

Have the person next to you link little fingers with you and move her finger
for beat patterns, lighter or harder for decrescendo and crescendo, touch
for fermatas, etc. Anything like that will work, if she's willing. You could
have her tap on the back of your hand, if that is more comfortable.

What has been suggested so far will work, but the longer you work with a
director, the more you will get use to that person's way of doing things,
(piano, ofrte ETC.)
