Rehearsals go on!
Even during lockdown, our College ensembles are keeping the music alive at home!
During their normal after College rehearsal times, students are jumping onto a Zoom session at home together with their other band members and conductor to participate in an online rehearsal. Although they cannot hear each other, the conductor of the ensemble facilitates rehearsal plans and goals for students to achieve, and students are divided into various breakout rooms so they can support each other in their practice. The conductor then moves between the breakout rooms providing students with feedback on their playing and singing.
This initiative has been greatly received so far, and we hope to keep the momentum going forward so that our student musicians continue their music journey and performing with others, and are then ready to jump straight into live music-making upon returning to school. Hope you enjoy the photos from the Zoom rehearsals with our Senior Vocal Group, Intermediate Stage Band, and the Senior Concert Band.
