​Residencies, Master Classes, and Open Rehearsals

 
For student musicians, Charged Particles can conduct residencies and master classes, in which the students play their own music and group members comment and make suggestions in order to illustrate general principles of performance.  These sessions can be open to the public, because the process of learning is quite understandable.

The group can also conduct open rehearsals, in which they work on new material they plan to perform or work at polishing material already being performed.  This can be a fascinating process for general public audiences, to see how the group works the "kinks" out of a new work and how an initial rough reading of a piece can be transformed into a finished product.  This is particularly interesting when group members rehearse their own original compositions.
