Rehearsal and Performance: Knowing the Difference Makes the Difference

Clinic Synopsis:

Is performance simply a presentation of what has been worked out in rehearsal or something different? This purpose of this clinic is to motivate band and orchestra conductors of all levels to revisit this age-old question, applying new ideas and strategies to improve performance. A close examination of rehearsal and performance will reveal unique differences and the impact those differences have on the musical experiences of students.
