Big news around here: I have been asked to produce the next album by the legendary a cappella group, The Nylons! Not only that, they've asked me to be the "everything guy": I'll be involved in choosing songs, writing the arrangements, recording, editing and mixing. Since this project will take up the next six months of my life, I figure this is a good time to start an "A Cappella Producer's Blog", sharing whatever I learn as I go through this exciting process from start to finish. I guess I may as well start at the beginning:

Since it's back-to-school/new concert season time, I thought I'd take a little break from my producer's series to talk about the most effective way to start out your choir's year. It's something I started doing when I directed Wibi, and later with Onoscatopoeia. Choir directors of all types, this one's for you.
