Familiarity with music notation software, audio equipment, and scheduling tools is typically required. Strong communication, organizational abilities, and a collaborative attitude help you support the choir director and foster a positive rehearsal environment. These skills ensure smooth rehearsals, effective coordination, and contribute to the overall success of the choir's performances.
