Ensemble Coaching:

In addition to private instruction, I also offer small ensemble coaching. Ensemble playing gives students an opportunity to expand on the techniques learned in private lessons. Students learn skills including:  

  • leading the group -giving the downleat and cut-off, giving cues and setting tempos
  • reading from a score
  • blending and balancing their individual parts within an ensemble
  • tuning their instrument and intonation tendencies
  • listening and responding to others in the ensemble
Repertoire will be selected from a variety of styles and time periods. The ensembles will perform on my studio recitals. Other performance opportunities including chamber music competitions will be available throughout the academic year.
