[Perform-Talk] Any church music directors out there?

[Masha Sten Clanton]

Greetings:

 

A church I attend is looking for a new music director, and I'm on the search
committee. We're currently in the process of drafting the job description,
using a previous job description as a template. The old description said
that vision would be needed for reading music. I'm wondering whether there
are any current or former blind music directors in this group, and if so, if
they'd be willing to talk with me about how they do/did the job. The church
wants someone who will bring in music from diverse traditions and conduct
the choir, which is usually b pick-up choir because people have limited
time. I would really appreciate any guidance!
