Da’ Plan!
Rhapsody in Blue – We will clearly identify Theater Orchestra and full band, working those sections for rhythmical clarity, dynamics, and expression. 60 min
EMPHASIS: Play the music following the director’s beat and less from listening to those around you. Remember, there’s no guessing in ensemble playing. To master the precision required for this piece, as you play, meter out your part to the conductor’s baton, NOT from what you hear around you. For balance, blend, and intonation LISTEN to those around you, but not for tempo. I hope this makes sense.
