The Transformative Power of Playing Concertos

By: Tanya Schwartzman

At Sharon Music Academy, we believe in providing our students with opportunities that not only hone their technical skills but also enrich their overall musicianship. One such pivotal experience is playing concertos, particularly alongside professional orchestras and under the guidance of experienced conductors.

Performing a concerto requires young musicians to elevate their technical prowess and interpretative skills. Preparing for such performances encourages students to practice diligently, understand the piece's nuances, and develop a deep connection with the music. Moreover, playing with a professional orchestra introduces students to the dynamics of ensemble performance. They learn to listen actively, synchronize with other musicians, and respond to the conductor’s cues, fostering a sense of teamwork and collaboration that is essential in any musical career.

The opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra and work with a conductor is a rare and invaluable experience for young musicians. It exposes them to the professional music world, offering insights into the rehearsal process, the discipline required, and the level of artistry expected. Working with seasoned musicians and a skilled conductor helps students understand the importance of communication, adaptability, and mutual respect.

We believe that playing concertos with professional orchestras and working with conductors is not just an educational activity; it is a profound, life-changing experience that shapes students into well-rounded, confident, and inspired artists and human beings.
