Successful Practice And Rehearsal Philosophy

How to be a Successful Large Ensemble Musician

Orchestras. Bands. Choirs. We all make music with large numbers of people. Doing so is a skill that isn’t as simple as “show up and do your thing,” and if that’s your mindset when you play/sing in large ensembles, then you’re doing it wrong. Here are some basic rules designed to make you into a better large ensemble musician.

Sarah gives you the highs and lows about a singer and administrator who becomes a handbell-er.

In this VLOG for Polyphonic.org, I discuss the many pros of chamber music and share my experiences last weekend at a chamber music retreat on campus.

The week of traveling that made my friends think I’m nuts. Freelancing in LA, TX, and MA

Think you’re busy with gigs? Meghan can relate. In this vlog she talks about having rehearsals in Baton Rouge, and auditions in Boston and Houston. All within the same week. Orchestral playing is amazing, but logistics can be exhausting.

 

Picking Ensemble Literature

In this week’s VLOG I discuss strategies for picking literature for your ensemble and planning for a concert.

47 Strings- Programming for 4-year olds

 

47 Strings was recently awarded the Richter Fund for Musical Outreach from the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. This grant will fund six performances at Houston Homeless Shelters this Spring. See how Meghan programs a concert for homeless preschoolers, as well as rehearsal time with bassist David Connor.
