Rehearsals

/rɪˈhɜːrsəlz/ noun

Definition

Practice sessions where performers prepare for a show, concert, or play by repeating their parts.

Etymology

From Old French 'reherser' (re- again + herser to harrow/repeat). Originally meant to practice or recite, especially for performances.

Kelly Says

Professional orchestras might have 20+ rehearsals before one performance, with conductors obsessing over single notes—this is why live music by professionals sounds so perfect compared to amateur attempts!
