official rehearsals take place once a week for an hour to an hour
and a half. Tunes learned in previous weeks are reviewed, and then
Laura plays the new tune once or twice so the students can get the
feel of the piece. She then breaks the song down into phrases and
plays them as the students listen, eventually joining in and repeating
the phrase until it is learned. The process continues until the entire
tune has been learned, occasionally joining several fragments together
before everybody plays the whole tune through.
