In 2024, we began a series of monthly sectional rehearsals, whereby we separated the different sections of the orchestra into cellos, violins and violas, brass, woodwind and percussion. Each section went to a separate room at the Vines Road Community Centre with a specialist coach for their section and worked separately, before coming together for the second half of the rehearsal. This helped us concentrate on the individual needs of our musicians and their particular sections of the orchestra. The program has been adopted as a permanent part of our rehearsal schedule.
