I Had my second rehearsal with the NYCO. Once again, I had a good time. I'm starting to feel a little more comfortable and I'm finding I am learning a lot, but there is still plenty to learn. The first half of the rehearsal was with the entire orchestra, which, in my opinion. Of course, my opinion is jaded because my instrument gets drowned out by every one else. After the break, the rehearsal was held in sections. This was a chance where the orchestra could fine tune everything in smaller groups. This was also a chance for me to feel more exposed and vulnerable as a double bassist. I felt timid and small but I learned where all my weaknesses and problems lay with what we were learning. It was a good practice and I just need to build my confidence. "Strong and wrong" as the saying goes.
