When each individual is dedicated to learning their part and committed to working as a team, amazing things can happen! The coach will help you make your piece come to life in a successful performance by facilitating learning about various tools like non-verbal communication, breathing, and rhythmic counting to stay together as a group without a conductor. By playing in a chamber ensemble, you will have opportunities to develop your own ideas about the music by being responsible for your own part, and you will also be able to listen to and learn from the other members of the group-all in service of creating something beautiful together.
