Interplay Between Zoom Meetings and Live Rehearsals
The Live rehearsal options do not take the place of, but do augment our Zoom classes and lessons. Over the next months we will all be preparing and studying the same NEW MUSIC in each option.
The Zoom classes will be focused on technique and individual musical improvement.
The Live rehearsals will focus on Ensemble balance, interpretation, and musical performance techniques. We suggest that you take advantage of our webpage activities, our Zoom connections, and our live rehearsals. This great combination of activity will produce excellent musical results.
