OUTLINE: In this online session we will explore some key elements that contribute to the successful running of a string ensemble. There will be something for every ensemble director as we talk through how to motivate your students, plan for effective rehearsals, encourage good aural and music reading skills and have some tricks up your sleeve to keep things moving! After a highly successful presentation of this session at the ASME(WA) Summer School, Jade is excited to share this jam-packed presentation with other passionate string teachers and encourage us all to create an exciting year of ‘Ensemble Success!’
