Week 36: Preparing For Performance (Part 1)

Covering PREPARING for PERFORMANCE over the coming weeks: Rehearsing, Memorising, Preparing for Your Audience, Nerves & Microphone Use.
1. Thorough musical preparation & rehearsal are the first steps in preparing for successful performance.
2. The French word for rehearsal is “répétition”.  Successful PERFORMANCE is the outcome of creative repetition. Regular practice is key!
3. Each time a phrase, section or entire song is repeated in rehearsal, the music is brought more and more to life and closer to performance.
4. Whether singing alone or accompanied by piano, orchestra or a band, the rehearsal process is the next step on from the musical preparation.
5. Throughout a rehearsal process, it's important to be thinking of building connection to the music & text, communication of same, & stamina.
