1 Orchestra Rehearsal Etiquette Dec. 4, 2012 at 10:25 PM Photo by Jorge Franganillo Whether you re in an orchestra for the first time or you re an experienced orchestral performer, you ll soon notice that there are some unwritten rules pertaining to your involvement and behavior during rehearsal. Conductors even have their own style and set of expectations for the musicians under their direction. It s understandable if you feel a little nervous when performing with a new ensemble for the first time. Too bad no one will hand you a copy of Rehearsal Etiquette for Dummies. So if you re wondering what to do and how to act in rehearsal, here are a few tips to keep you in the know. Arrive early at least 15 minutes early, or with enough time to both get your instrument out and warm up. There is nothing more awkward than shuffling through a crowd of seated musicians in the middle of Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn. If you are late (it happens), try to avoid taking your seat while the musicians are playing; if you can, wait for an appropriate break in the action to slip in. Come prepared. This means two things: 1) Come having thoroughly practiced your music. Nothing is more frustrating to conductors than to waste time rehearsing passages that the orchestra members didn t practice ahead of time. 2) Before you head to rehearsal, double check that you have your music, instrument, bow, rosin, reeds, and any necessary accessories. Be sure to note whether or not you need to bring your own stand to rehearsal or you ll be scrambling without one. You might consider keeping a wire stand in your car (like a spare tire) just in case!
2 Bring a pencil. This one gets its own paragraph. Attending rehearsal without a pencil is like sitting through a university lecture without a taking notes. Even if you think you ll be able to remember every direction the conductor gives, every dynamic change, every cut, and every ritardando, really, you probably won t. Keep a couple pencils in your instrument case so they re always on hand. Don t under- or over-mark the music. Certainly write down bowings and musical directions as instructed. But don t ruin the sheet music by circling every last key change, accidental, and dynamic marking until your music is black with pencil. And if you re sharing a stand, especially avoid slathering the music with your personal notes and fingerings; it s unprofessional. Be courteous to your colleagues. Position yourself so both you and your stand partner have enough arm and leg room and can see the music comfortably. Don t be afraid to ask the people around or behind you if they can see the conductor or if you can move a little to give them more space. Don t tune loudly. Tune as softly as possible so the players around you can hear themselves as well as the tuning A. Don t chat. If you need to communicate something to your stand partner, do so inconspicuously and quietly. Save personal conversations for break time. At the same time, don t be afraid to ask questions. Approach your section leader during a break, or raise your hand with [appropriate] questions for the conductor for any clarifications. Don t tap your feet. The conductor is there to keep you in rhythm, and the tapping creates unnecessary noise. If you re sharing a stand, the inside player (or player further from the edge of the stage) turns the pages. Pass down bowings or comments from the section leader. Don t be the break in the chain. Players on the outside (closest to the edge of the stage) play the top line of a divisi section while the inside player plays the bottom. Leave your arrogance at home. Members of the orchestra are all equal; everyone is contributing. Don t gloat if you have a solo, and don t bust out personal solo concertos and performances pieces just to show off. Everyone will be more annoyed than impressed. Also, don t practice another orchestra member s solo to demonstrate that you can play it better. If at all possible, don t miss any rehearsals leading up to a concert. It is a sign of disrespect to both the conductor and your orchestra members if you re prioritize getting your nails done over working as hard as everyone else in preparation for a performance. Be careful not to double book yourself. If you ve agreed to play a performance, don t back out if you get another gig, even if it pays better. It s bad form, and you may lose your opportunity to ever play with the initial ensemble again if the director deems you flaky. Learn the art of the hidden yawn. Sometimes you just can t avoid yawning, but you can hide it with a little creativity. Lean over to tie your shoe or pretend to scratch your nose to hide your gaping mouth. Don t let the conductor catch you yawning. Ornery conductors may send you packing or never invite you back. Treat your music with kindness. Most sheet music is rented or borrowed from a library. Only write markings lightly in pencil so the next player to use it doesn t have to painfully scrub out markings with a massive rubber eraser. Try not to bend pages or tear them. Keep the music in a protective folder to keep it from getting crinkled in transit.
3 Don t wear perfume or cologne. You d be surprised by how many people are allergic or irritated by it. TURN OFF YOUR PHONE. Enough said. Stop when the conductor stops. If you keep playing, it s a sign that you re not paying attention. Also, don t noodle around or practice while the conductor is talking. Personal practice and group rehearsal are two separate activities. Don t eat during rehearsal. Bottles of water with lids are okay. Don t question the conductor or treat him/her with disrespect. Trust in their artistic direction. Don t argue with the conductor or you ll likely find yourself packing up and sent on your way. Don t complain about where you sit. Even if you ve had seating auditions and you think you can play better than other members in your section, graciously accept your position. Just because you sit in the back doesn t mean you re not a valuable player; in fact, being in the group to begin with is a privilege in itself. But don t hesitate to practice your tail off in preparation for the next seating audition. Lastly, enjoy the music! Don t take rehearsal so seriously that you lose your connection with the piece or with your instrument. Playing music in an ensemble is a real treat; don t forget that you re taking part in a meaningful cultural tradition that will edify your audience. From Christina C. Posted on December 5, 2012 at 5:15 PM for fingerings, the unspoken rule is usually that the outside player puts theirs above the line & inside player puts them below. Great list! From Sue Buttram Posted on December 5, 2012 at 6:10 PM The "unspoken rule" about fingerings above and below - I've never heard that before (and I've been playing in orchestras for 50 years). What a great tip! From Ophelia Larson Posted on December 5, 2012 at 8:50 PM I'm new to orchestral playing...any insight on proficient page turning for the inside player? I've had to sit next to the concertmaster for a few rehearsals and I felt totally unsure of my timing on page turns - is there a more correct way to do this? For example if there are multiple bars of rest, or a particularly fast passage. I apologize if this is ridiculously obvious! From Amber Rogers Posted on December 5, 2012 at 10:03 PM Generally if there are a ton of rests I will write (lightly) on the next page how many I have to count. If they're in sections and there are multiple time or key changes I will stay on the page a bit longer and on the next page section accordingly when I write in the info. Laurie has a brilliant clip on youtube about how to turn pages quickly. From Jack Shepard Posted on December 6, 2012 at 12:10 AM Excellent list!
4 I would add "Don't leave your instrument on your chair"...for more than one reason: We take a short break midway through rehearsal and when we have different seating assignments for different pieces, you end up with players who can not take their new seat if the previous player left their instrument there. I also think it's very risky to leave your instrument on a chair as it can easily be knocked off or worse. From Katherine Moller Posted on December 6, 2012 at 2:06 AM Great article! I couldn't agree more with so many of the items! From elise stanley Posted on December 6, 2012 at 10:00 AM Terrific - this is my first year with an orchestra and I've had to learn these first hand. One little extra tip is to pre-tune your violin to an electric tuner (440). You may have to make small adjustments to the oboe but they are that - its embarassing to be the last one tuning! From Christina C. Posted on December 6, 2012 at 2:14 PM If you're going to tune with a tuner before the group, it doesn't hurt to ask the oboe what they're tuning to. It could be something other than 440, especially if there's any kind of keyboard in the group. From Sara McDowell Posted on December 6, 2012 at 3:49 PM During breaks, *do not* walk through the percussion set up, ever. Go around. From Mary Ellen Goree Posted on December 6, 2012 at 4:05 PM If you're a section string player, please don't raise your hand to ask the conductor a question. That's a breach of etiquette. Pass your question up to your section leader, who will either answer the question or ask the conductor her(him)self. From Sverker Lennartsson Posted on December 6, 2012 at 5:49 PM And most importantly, that will summarize all the advices given: leave any individuality you have at home. Please, recite Jante's laws before each rehearsal and before going to bed. 1. You're not to think you are anything special. 2. You're not to think you are as good as us. 3. You're not to think you are smarter than us. 4. You're not to convince yourself that you are better than us. 5. You're not to think you know more than us. 6. You're not to think you are more important than us. 7. You're not to think you are good at anything. 8. You're not to laugh at us. 9. You're not to think anyone cares about you. 10. You're not to think you can teach us anything. The same survival laws for orchestra as in high school or Stalin's USSR are applicable and must be followed with great detail. Good luck, comrades! :) From Jide Taiwo Posted on December 6, 2012 at 6:49 PM This is great stuff. I'll like to share this with my orchestra band mates From Jide Taiwo Posted on December 6, 2012 at 6:46 PM
5 This is great stuff. I'll like to share this with my orchestra band mates From Luis Morataya Posted on December 6, 2012 at 7:20 PM I really like the hint about arrogance! What has to deal Tchaikovsky violin concerto in a Vivaldi musica rehearsal?? From Nate Robinson Posted on December 6, 2012 at 7:49 PM Thou shalt not laugh that much at the viola solos, even if they're played in the wrong key. If one is provoked to laugh however, it is very important to learn how to master the fine art of the 'hidden laugh.' From Dominic Zappia Posted on December 7, 2012 at 1:41 AM Great list! It's funny that I read this yesterday ---especially the part about remembering your music---and today I forgot it so I could not practice during lunch break! LOL From Liz Lambson Posted on December 7, 2012 at 5:21 PM Wonderful comments! Thank you for the additional contributions. Great stuff.
