The Orchestral Excerpt Labs are the backbone of technical preparation inside The Global Conservatory’s Orchestral Training Division. These weekly labs are instrument-family specific, repertoire-intensive, and led by current and former principal players from the world’s leading orchestras.
This is where the real work happens. Every excerpt is broken down with surgical precision: bowings, breaths, articulation, phrasing, rhythm, and internal pulse. You don’t just “know” the excerpt — you understand it from inside the section and from behind the audition panel.
