Route or Terrain
Sometimes I have a detailed plan for rehearsal. Other times, I just have a good sense of the map.
Rehearsal Technique
Momentum, Specialness, and Frequency
The gift of a once-weekly rehearsal schedule can also be its greatest challenge.
No Time
We just don’t have the time we had in August.
Speak It Into Being
My poor tired ensemble.
Less Visible Growth
There are two kinds of growth in ensembles.
Seriously & Personally
What’s worth taking seriously and taking personally in rehearsal?
Mountains
What mountain range do we need for the music here?
Sound Like a Fool
You have to be willing to sound like a fool.
Open Pre-Concert Rehearsal
Why not invite audiences to your rehearsals?
Efficient Or Educational
I love efficient rehearsals. But sometimes efficient isn’t the most important value.
