The Discovery Players rehearse and perform vocal and chamber works that lie outside of the standard repertoire. Typically this includes both early and more recent works

Most of the music you will perform will be done in a small group setting. It is therefore very important for you to prepare your individual parts before rehearsals. You will need to come prepared to each rehearsal.

Coaching: I will coach your group each week; any exceptions will announced in advance. You should be warmed up and ready to play at rehearsal time.

Grading: Your grade will be based on your preparation for rehearsals and performances. Grades will be given for each coaching session and assignments made for the next week. It is up to you to practice, prepare and rehearse with your group before each coaching session.

Attendance Policy: Since we have few rehearsals before the concert, it is important that you attend every week and practice outside of class time. You cannot be absent for any rehearsals as your absence will hinder the other members of your group.
