1000+ Concerts | The Art of Practicing

Jonathan elaborates on why taking turns leading rehearsals is the least bad system, and which questions to ask yourself when approaching a new score. He challenges well polished auditions and explains why there has to be a moment of danger — of not knowing — on stage. What are “intelligent rehearsals”? Why do we not need words in the process and how do we know which sound to play? To find out why singing helps, and why listening, for Jonathan, means giving up control, tune in and get inspired.Website: https://www.1000plusconcerts.eu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/1000plusconcerts/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1000PlusConcertsProduced by: The Voice Agency
