How do I get in concert choir when the teacher is a jerk?

-I tried out for my school's concert choir, but I didn't make it and all my friends and family are confused and pissed. Because he let some one that can't even sing and is totally tone deft in. My aunt thanks he's insane, my best friend thinks he's a creeper. But I really need help with my voice and he's not helping me... what should I do?As someone who taught choral music in NY for over 30 years - and judging by your posting here ONLY - never having heard you sing - I think that it is highly likely that the director chose someone who is dependable and a hard worker, and open to instruction - NOT someone who is clearly concerned with the entire world revolving around HER.



If you ADMIT that you need help with your voice, then contact the finest private voice teacher you can. Do you read music well? Can you sight-sing or sing with solfege? You you have any previous instrumental experience that would make you a stronger musician and singer? Or, when you do not get something you want, is it always *someone else's* fault??3 OPTIONS-



CONFRONT HIM!-

whether you do it alone or with a friend or family member, ask him why you didn't get in, how you CAN get in. etc



TALK TO SOMEONE IN HIGHER AUTHORITY-

talk to someone above him, like the principal. head of your schools music department etc, tell them you deserve to get in or at least want to know why you didn't etc



DONT LET IT GET TO YOU-

remember that everything happens for a reason, sometimes if you didn't get what you want its because something better will come along, i know its typical for people to say that but its sooo true, i had the same kind of situation happen to me.
