Webinar: What I Didn’t Hear: Detecting Errors in the Rehearsal Setting

/ Professional Learning & Events / Event Calendar / Webinar: What I Didn’t Hear: Detecting Errors in the Rehearsal Setting
About the Event
Individual and ensemble errors are a constant in any rehearsal setting. While the ability to detect errors is a skill we continue to work toward perfecting, a systematic approach can aid in your ability to decrease errors within your ensemble and increase your ability to detect mistakes. Through error prediction and prevention, time can be focused on concept mastery rather than individual errors. Error detection can be improved through attentive listening and a goal to target the error down to the specific measure, note, and performer.
