Vocal Leadership is the innovative method for choir leading that has been developed by Jim Daus Hjernoe in Denmark over the last ten years. Since September 2015, a wide selection of courses is being offered at Codarts Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Rotterdam. ‘Vocal Leadership’ is a replacement for ‘Choir Direction’. The method inspires choir leaders to let singers be co-responsible in the musical process, within a safe environment and with a positive approach. Vocal Leadership is taught by several different choir leading teachers. This team combines score-based (notated) vocal music with ‘expanding the comfort zone’- using improvisation as a tool. The Vocal Leadership roots can be found in rhythmic, Scandinavian vocal music, but as the title implies, the method is style-free. Classes are taught in both English and Dutch.
