Practicing Scales Can Lead to Rich Rewards

The Art of Balanced Ensemble
Isn’t it difficult to tell, while you’re playing, whether anyone is too loud or too soft?
KAZUHIDE ISOMURA Whenever we play a concert, we have a rehearsal in the concert hall. For us, the hall is like an instrument and it is important to try out its acoustics.

How to Maintain a Healthy Quartet Relationship
Understanding your role within the ensemble, as well as the roles of your fellow players, will help you find balance within your group. Although one player may start or stop a phrase, give a cue, or make decisions on behalf of the group, all members must be ready to adapt and do the same when appropriate.
