The clinic will look at strategies to manage rehearsals and ensemble development when met with challenges pertaining to issues such as instrumentation, time constraints and wider school pressures. The presentation will consider:
* How to make the most of the balance you have
* Efficient use of rehearsal time
* Building effective relationships with other school sections
The presentation will also look at why, despite what might seem to be constant challenges, it is very much worth persisting.
