CONCERT ETIQUETTE FOR MUSICIANS Our concerts are part of the learning experience and should be thought of as part of the instruction that we provide. Certain standards are asked of every concert participant.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE OF THE CONCERT DAY: Concerts are held on Sundays at 4 p.m. at the Washington Center. On these days, each group will have a dress rehearsal earlier that afternoon. Concert dress is not required for dress rehearsal.

11:00 a.m. - Brass Choir load-in 11:20 a.m. - 11:55 Brass Choir NOON-12:45 p.m. - Debut Winds/Strings 12:45-1:35 p.m. - Academy Orchestra 1:40-3:10 p.m. - Conservatory Orchestra 3:30 p.m. - Concert Call (Concert dress required.)

1. Always enter the Washington Center to the rear of the theater (alley), far right stage door.

2. While downstairs, conduct yourself in a responsible and helpful manner. Use the time to warm up your instrument or practice quietly. Your conductor or coach will tell you when and how your group should go upstairs to the stage.

3. After your group’s dress rehearsal is finished, you may leave the Washington Center if you have permission from your parents. However, all musicians must be back downstairs at the Center by 3:30 p.m. to be ready for the actual concert in concert dress.

4. Like the dress rehearsal, you will get specific instructions from your conductor or coach when it is your group’s turn to go from downstairs to the stage to play in the concert. Leave all electronic devices and purses downstairs or with your parents.

5. Musicians stand in respect when the conductor comes on the stage. No gum chewing or talking. Sit when indicated by the conductor. Sit up, feet flat on the floor, and watch and listen carefully, tune carefully. At the end of the piece, watch the conductor and sit until you are asked to stand up.

6. When your group is done playing, you will exit the stage as instructed and go sit in a designated area in the theater to listen to the remainder of the concert. Conservatory musicians may sit in their designated section during the first half of the concert, since they do not perform until after the intermission.

7. Please be quiet and courteous, both as you go from the stage to your assigned seating, and while you listen to the concert. If you have your instrument with you, please make sure it is also quiet and safe. If you have any questions about what to do with your instrument, ask your conductor or coach.

8. Concerts usually last a little over 2 hours. Typically, during the first half the Brass Choir, Debut Orchestra, and Academy groups perform. There is a 15-minute intermission, then the Conservatory Orchestra performs during the second half of the concert.

CONCERT ETIQUETTE: Concerts are a time for your musician to shine. Your support and having you in attendance to hear their accomplishments is very important. We have a few suggestions to help you enjoy your experience: 1. We encourage young children to attend the concerts, but if they become distracting during the concert, quietly exit to the lobby. There is a monitor to view the concert until the child has calmed down.

2. Non-flash photography is allowed at the Washington Center; video is not allowed.

Generally, professional DVDs of each season concert are available for purchase.

NEW: Individual photos will by taken of everyone by Lifetouch Studios at an upcoming rehearsal (date still to be determined). Information for those interested in purchasing photo packages will be available in late October.

3. Please remember to turn off all electronic devices during the performance.

4. Staying for the entire concert is standard etiquette and is appreciated by all. Every musician has worked hard and the concert programming is intended for your listening pleasure. SOGO concerts usually last a little more than 2 hours.

PRACTICE TIPS For helping your musician achieve success in practice 1. Give your musician a place to practice. Allow them to play uninterrupted in a quiet place that is accommodating and comfortable.

2. Expect him or her to practice in a regular manner with quality work. It is a wise thing to discuss music often with your child, as well as to set aside time in the day designated solely to practice. This schedule should be firm but flexible to changing events. For the Debut and Academy musicians, students should practice at least half an hour a day, five to six days a week. For Conservatory musicians, students should practice 45 minutes to an hour per day. It should be understood that additional musical involvement (i.e. private lessons, school) may require more practice time. Being in SOGO is a responsibility, and we expect the musicians to put in the necessary time to adequately learn and prepare their music. Sometimes orchestra parts will be difficult enough to require outside help. It should also be noted that the quality of practice is valued, not the quantity.

Additionally, it is a smart decision to play classical music in the musicians’ environment as much as possible because it acts as a catalyst for successful learning as well as interest in the arts. Classical King FM 98.1 in Seattle (streaming online at King.org) is a great source of classical music. Sunday mornings King FM offers NPR’s “From the Top”, a showcase of young talent in America.

3. Be aware there are different ways to practice. Musicians can break down pieces by aspect, and learn and work on those aspects separately. Additionally, practice can include studying a part, studying music theory, and so on. When possible, buy recordings of current pieces so the musician can listen and understand the composition of the piece. Auditory learning is essential to becoming a better musician, and will assist in the success of practice.

4. Keep open communications about practicing. Rehearsing can involve a lot of emotions, positive and negative. Thus, it is necessary to be open to talking about it as much as the student wants to. Understand where your musician is coming from. They can feel a lot of pressure from rehearsals, peers, school, etc. Understand that you are there to help your musician succeed, not to force them. Sometimes, you will need to find out what motivates your musician, but at the same time, by practicing, your student is showing self-motivation, as well as maturity.
