Check your ego at the door.
Ensembles are co-operative.
Praise each other, but don't worship yourself.
|
 |
Show up on time.
|
 |
Be prepared - music, music stand, tuner, pencil, pick (if you
use one), practice amp and instrument cord if you are an electric player.
|
 |
Practice.
Hard work at home will ensure that rehearsal will be a real joy.
|
 |
Respect those
that brought you into the Ensemble.
|
 |
If someone else
in the Ensemble has a good idea, let them take the credit for it!
|
 |
If you make a
mistake, do not glare at the player on your left so that everyone else thinks
that person made the error.
|
 |
Be proud of
the part that is yours. Cherish and nurture it.
|
 |
Don't swear
during your playing. Certain words carry rather well!
