If you’ve never been in United Sound, or you’re not sure what it’ll be like, don’t worry. It’s super easy! Here are some videos to show what you’ll be doing.

Rehearsals

You’ll meet once per week for 45 minutes. A typical semester might look like this:

• Weeks 1-6: Rehearsals begin in the form of group lessons. Peer Mentors will help the New Musicians with first notes, sound production, and basic music reading.

• Week 6: Peer Mentors create modified parts for each New Musician based on aptitude (It may be as simple as a 1-2 note melody)

• Week 7: Continuing in group lesson format, students begin to learn the modified part that has been created

• Week 9: Continue working in small groups and as an ensemble as you prepare to perform

• Week 15: 1 Full Ensemble dress rehearsal (including New Musicians, Peer Mentors, and the rest of the members of the school ensemble).

• Week 16: Perform!

Performances look different at different schools. You might even change between semesters.
