First rehearsal after break. One directive.
Rehearsal Technique
More Overlap Than You Think

Speak It Into Being
My poor tired ensemble.

Seriously & Personally
What’s worth taking seriously and taking personally in rehearsal?
Mountains
What mountain range do we need for the music here?

You have to be willing to sound like a fool.
