By James Johnson


The following tips are aimed at helping performers and musicians who want to get more from their time spent in rehearsals. Using the best music rehearsal strategies can help you to get more bang for your buck, so to speak when it comes to practice time. To follow are some practical tips which can help you to achieve the best results.

One important aspect of setting a rehearsal is to create a quiet and comfortable space. That can make everyone feel more at easy and ready to practice. As well insuring that the room is not too cluttered is important to helping performers to concentrate. Rehearsal spaces range from schools to churches to village halls to concert halls. Whatever the venue, making sure that it is a secure and appealing setting is crucial.

One other very important issue is to keep morale high by encouraging everyone to be prompt and on time. It can be very discouraging to performers when part of the group does not show up or is late. That is why it is important to enact a policy of prompt attendance.

If you would like to get some pointers on how to find free or low cost forms of rehearsal space there are many guides that deal with this subject. These may be sourced from libraries and book stores. Others may be found online in the form of databases. Whatever method you choose to get more information make sure that it and the venues you are considering are completely safe and high quality.

Of course, the type of music being played will affect rehearsal strategies. For instance, soloists will have much different approaches to choral groups. However there are some important concepts that apply across the board and you can learn more about these below.

One strategy that many performers use is to break down a composition, play, concert or musical into manageable sections when practicing. This can help the performers to be much more confident and not feel overwhelmed by tacklling the whole piece at once. The chance to practice particular sections in depth also gives you the chance to spend more time on difficult or challenging parts.

It is a nice idea to help the performers to stay relaxed by creating a fun environment. This might involve integrating a fun game as part of the practice time. Other ideas include watching a funny video or practicing exercises to help performers to loosen up. Staying relaxed is an important part of accessing creativity.

One other strong tactic which can be very powerful in practicing music is the following. Often choral groups and other large ensembles will divide into groups to practice for a period of time. This gives a chance for particular groups such as altos or sopranos to practice in different rooms and to refine their technique. This can add up to a much stronger unit in the long run.
