Ensemble Coaching

Ensemble Coaching

 

The challenges that come with performing in a group can be overwhelming. Join Victoria in uncovering the practical and psychological aspects of rehearsals, performance preparation and stage etiquette.

  • Victoria is available to coach groups of all sizes: chamber groups, wind sectional, a group mentoring for practice and performance support (see mentoring page for full details), or indeed a combination of both coaching and mentoring
  • Depending on the size of the group sessions can be held at Victoria’s London music room or request a venue of your choice
  • Sessions are usually 3 hours with a 20 minute break

The sessions aim to encourage positive dialogue and productive rehearsal outcomes, bringing together shared musical intentions with the development of efficient and effective rehearsal techniques.

Topics can include:

  • Performance communication and presentation
  • Musical balance and the art of listening!
  • Practice techniques
  • Managing anxieties in rehearsals as well as performance
  • The art of doubling – some useful tips
  • Planning & preparing for a recording as a group
  • Programme planning
