Session 1 with Fiona Portway:
Directing string ensembles is challenging! How do we choose the right repertoire, make sure students are engaged, developing technical and musical skills and ready to perform at the next concert, all in a short rehearsal time with interruptions like exams, school camps and absences? It can feel overwhelming at times but with thoughtful planning and preparation rehearsals and performances can become a joy. This workshop will help ensemble directors to support the inclusion of a wider range of composers and musical styles as well as consider why we choose the music we do and what skill-based learning is important to include for our students. With effective and efficient planning, it is possible to have time to enjoy making music while developing the knowledge and abilities of our young musicians. 

Session 2 with Julian Ferraretto:
Strings can swing! More and more string ensembles are choosing contemporary works in their repertoire. Accessing modern scores serve as an effective tool in keeping string orchestras relevant in the ever-changing music landscape.  Whether exploring jazz-related material from swing to latin or more contemporary genres like rock and funk it can be difficult knowing how to stylistically connect with the genre and shake that classical neo-romantic sound. This workshop offers approaches to expressing jazz and contemporary music with a string ensemble in an enjoyable hands-on practical session. The session will include adjustments to vibrato, articulation, bow techniques and answering the question, how much swing is too much?
