Hi! I’m Jake.
Virtual Ensemble Rehearsal Toolkit
Concept: Record yourself conducting a rehearsal as if there were students singing/playing along. Ask students to record themselves responding/participating. Students receive all instructions via audio – they hear you and anyone else who has already recorded, and you hear all of them together at the end.
