Scheduling Weekly or Bi-Weekly Sectional Rehearsals





Without exception, every ensemble benefits from productive and frequent sectional rehearsals. The instructor should create an environment wherein he or she or an assistant (this could also include student section leaders within the ensemble) is available on a weekly- to bi-weekly basis to direct sectional rehearsals. This process will refine the sound and technical capabilities of individual sections and also contribute to an improved large ensemble sound. In addition, sections within the ensemble that meet regularly for sectional rehearsals will develop an increased sense of inner pride. The instructor should challenge his or her members to give 100% of their time and talents to an organization that will bring them the most musically rewarding ensemble experience they are collectively capable of producing.
