Effective workshop participation requires

• We wish to encourage our intermediate players to consider pre-forming groups, which, although requiring a bit more effort, we feel really enhances both enjoyment and learning from our valued coaches.
• True beginners are not likely to be adequately prepared for the experience of playing at the workshop.
• If you are a beginner, we encourage you to form chamber groups at home in order to gain self-confidence and some familiarity with the literature before applying to play at an organized workshop.
• Suggestions to Gain Chamber Music Experience
• Beginning chamber musicians can increase their chances of being accepted to a workshop if they come as a preformed group.
• CMNC members receive a directory of all members, which will help you in forming groups for this purpose.
• CMNClist is another good way to find fellow players.
• CMNC also recommends the chamber music classes for adults at the Crowden school
• To ensure a workable instrument balance, the workshop may have to set specific quotas of various instruments and playing abilities.
