Listen louder

Liz's blog suggests conductors not use the phrase "back off" to get singers to sing more quietly:
Backing off is what we do when it seems as if we’ve been too aggressive or exuberant or pushy. We do it when something dents our confidence, when we encounter a response more negative than we had anticipated.
She suggests "listen louder".
