Rehearsal Notes

December 6

Wagner

• Practice the ending for pitch

• Practice the ending with a metronome: half note = 160 or whole note = 80

• We will focus on the ending in the next rehearsal!

Barber

• Flute and clarinet: practice 5 after C

• Cello: 7 after C; E needs to be extremely confident

November 22

Wagner

• Strings: practice all passages with triplets

• Brass: work on intonation

Barber

• Flutes & Violas: pitch and flow at letter E

• Strings: piano opening needs to have more beautiful tone with clarity of pitch

November 15

General

• Number your measures, especially in Wagner

Barber:

• Make sense of confusing parts

Wagner

• Strings: start woodshedding fast passages. Metronome is your best friend.
