| "Dr.
Bonner's Conducting Seminar breathed fresh new life into my realization
of the privilege and responsibility of choral ministry. His insistence
on excellence and on reaching into peopleís lives through quality
choral music has been an inspiration. He is truly a "director's
director" as he challenges you musically. However, the greatest
impact is the way he challenges you to look in the mirror and allow your
spiritual fervor to fuel the ways in which you shape and create beautiful
praise to the Lord from the people in your choir. I shall never
be the same as a conductor or Christian because of my exposure to his
ministry." Brian Donaldson, Westwood Cheviot Church of Christ, Cincinnati, OH "Wow,
what a week! Intense - yes! Inspiring - absolutely!
Dr. Bonner has the exceptional abiity to turn the deeper, typically unspoken
aspects of choral conducting into very practical tools. there was
a whole new world well beyond technique to discover withmy choir - and
Iím still discovering. docís deep desire ist to
see us all succeed."
"Dr. Bonner's unique approach to the physical aspects of conducting produces
a dramatic difference in choral sound, and the music used in the seminar
was the most outstanding collection of pieces for church choirs I have
ever seen. The greatest impact, though, was not technical, but
spiritual. I came home with a new sense of direction, a new motivation
in being a ìone-person-at-a-timeî conductor/minister on a
day-by-day basis, and a renewed joy in the art of choral music as an
expression of genuine worship." "I found
the conducting seminar to be intensive and demanding. I felt that
I learned more in one week than in four years of choral conducting
methods classes. I learned some practical choral conducting techniques
that yielded immediate results when I took them back to my choir. My
choir's sound changed dramatically and instantly when I used my newly
learned conducting techniques. I never realized that I had so much control
over the sound of my choral group? My choir is delighted with my attempts
to "raise the bar" and is determined to meet the challenge! Their tone
is fuller and their sound has more energy and life!" "Your methods and
techniques have restored the joy of choral music and choral conducting
within my very soul. I simply call it a personal, spiritual, and musical
revival." "I became active
in Dr. Bonner's Conducting Seminars about 12 years ago. Through these
years my ability to "paint" a beautiful musical landscape has dramatically
changed. Dr. Bonner has significantly impacted how I relate to my choirs,
the congregation, even my family. Choir rehearsals have been revolutionized.
Dr. Bonner's uncanny insight into selecting repertoire will forever leave
its imprint on my choirs and our congregation. It has been a powerful life-changing
journey." Upcoming Conducting Seminars
