I've never tried rehearsing every two weeks, so I can't say if that would be better or worse.<br /><br />The main point from this data is that there needs to be some space between practices. I have known directors who thought that if they drilled the choir with enough repetition for just one rehearsal, then the choir should remember the music forever based on just that one day. But that doesn't work. The music needs to be rehearsed again with some gap time in between. But I don't have any experience to be able to compare a one-week gap vs. a two-week gap.<br /><br />It would be interesting if the person who said this to you can share what information they drew that conclusion from. If there has been specific research looking at what is the optimal gap for music learning, I would love to hear.Joan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186736782235851557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348066745369193920.post-37577825993462678382013-08-07T10:48:15.079-07:002013-08-07T10:48:15.079-07:00Do you think rehearsing songs once a week is too m...Do you think rehearsing songs once a week is too much? I'm planning our rehearsals every Saturday and someone mentioned that I should plan rehearsals every other Saturday.KCamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386945674015422700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348066745369193920.post-66483907121448633452013-04-02T05:39:26.156-07:002013-04-02T05:39:26.156-07:00This concept is so true for me, especially as I ha...This concept is so true for me, especially as I have gotten a little 'older' and have a lifetime of songs to differentiate between in my head.
