Golden Rules For Ensemble Playing
from the
Community Music List
Some of my favorites . . . .
3. If you play a wrong note, give a nasty look to your stand partner.
(Been there, done that!)
5. Carefully tune your instrument before playing. That way you can play out of tune all night with a clear conscience.
12. If you are completely lost, stop everyone and say, "I think we should tune."
(guilty again!)
17. A wrong note played timidly is a wrong note. A wrong note played with authority is an interpretation.
