Hello Everyone,
I am sending you a follow up email today to address concerns expressed to me that members would like to sing through our concert repertoire in its entirety as we are moving closer to our performance. I had already planned this for our December rehearsals but we can go ahead with this plan beginning 11/25.
Please be prepared to sing through all of our repertoire this coming Monday, not limited to the list that I sent out last night. If there are still notes and rhythms about which you have questions, I encourage you to iron those out with your practice tracks as your individual time allows.
This will result in less detail work and more keep-singing-no-matter-what-happens. I know that you will understand that some of our challenges may go unaddressed – so I would kindly ask that everyone understands that we can only accomplish what is reasonable.
I am learning a lot about us as I have navigated this first season with WVC and I appreciate the opportunity to gain an understanding of our strengths and weaknesses in real time.
I do hope that you will use your practice tracks as often as you are able if you gain confidence by singing through pieces start to finish with lots of repetition. We have an abundance of resources on our website to help us as individuals prepare for our ensemble rehearsals.
I am looking forward to our rehearsal next week. See you soon!
Laura
