Back to Band: Playing With Your Local Ensemble

Have you been thinking about dusting off your clarinet and joining (or rejoining) a local concert band, wind ensemble, or community orchestra? Or have you been playing with your local band for a few years now, and you're hoping to audition for a higher spot or just improve your ensemble skills? Whether it's been 10 hours, 10 months or 10 years since your last group rehearsal, this livestream is for you.

Head of Clarinet, Heather Roche, will walk you through everything you need to feel confident walking into your first rehearsal, from brushing up on common ensemble etiquette to refreshing your sight-reading and transposition skills. You'll get practical tips for preparing your parts at home, blending with others in rehearsal, and managing nerves when playing in a group setting.
