The role of the Conductor of children choir in the improvement of Interpersonal Communication through Music

Abstract

Choral singing is a complex and multifactorial activity, it is a group activity in which participants are actively involved through music and are able to transmit varied touches of human psycho-emotional states. The conductor of a children’s choir must have a complex personality, he must be a passion-filled musician, a teacher, a psychologist, he must have psychosocial competencies and leadership abilities. In the conductor-choir relationship, the interaction of the conductor’s self with the members of the choir is of distinct importance. In order to increase the quality of the said relationship, which is the basis of remarkable artistic performance, a new method has been approached: the Johary Window model, which can be applied by the conductor in order to obtain a viable communication between the members of the choral ensemble.
