About
Have our HPO musicians sit-in on your band rehearsal.
Bring one or more of our musicians into your band rehearsal to run sectionals and play your repertoire alongside your students and reap the rewards of some extra help.
Start your rehearsal with sectionals where our players can give your students detailed instrument-specific help with their parts, technique and playing. Our musicians can help your section work through tricky passages and develop a unified sound. This hour could also be used during a class prior to your rehearsal.
After sectionals, have our players sit in the section with your players in a full band rehearsal. They will side coach, offer tips and tricks and model appropriate professional rehearsal etiquette. Moreover, your students will benefit from hearing their part with mature tone and stylistic accuracy. Nothing beats an exemplar for enriched learning!
Teachers know first hand that often times an experience like this can be life-changing for their students. Getting a chance to be exposed to someone who is making a living as a working musician, building rapport and making a connection could be all the difference to one (or many) of your students.
