To be a choir teacher, do you HAVE to be an amazing singer yourself?

Question

im pretty educated in the music field but my voice isnt perfect. but ive always wanted to be a high school vocal teacher.

Answer 1

no mi vocalist sucks

Answer 2

I run a choir at school, and I wouldn't call my voice fantastic. I can hold a note and keep in tune, but you don't have to be the best singer.

All you need to run a choir is an understand of music and good skills in motivation and leadership.

Answer 3

no you don't, you just have to know what you're doing and be able to tell the students how to sing.

and as long as you aren't like absolutely terrible, you should be fine.
