Each workshop participant is placed in two groups and will study movements of a chamber music works. Players learn the notes and rhythms, number the measures (starting at 1 at each movement), and listen to recordings before the coaching weekend. With this practice preparation, when the group assembles, the coaches work to help the players form the ensemble and negotiate interpretations.
