 It's All in the DetailsApril 27, 2012 at 2:14 AM I never realized how the slightest movements can completely change the delivery of a piece, until we started working on the Verdi with our guest conductor. She is very much into the details of what is happening on stage. During a typical rehearsal one will hear her say things like "Please don't scratch your nose there", "Fix your hair before this part so you aren't messing with it later" and other things of that nature. She expects the orchestra to stay perectly still after a big cadence and not move until the next part starts. This is different to me, but I can see that it really makes the delivery of the piece much more effective. I am definately adding that to my "Things to Remember as a Teacher" list!This entry has been archived and is no longer accepting comments. |
