    (Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, 2020) Erdem, Burak Onur ; Özgen Öztürk, Yelda ; 657631 ; Müzik Ana Bilim Dalı
    The course of a rehearsal is part of the performance of a conductor. Considering that choral conductors have to plan a lot in advance to prepare a season and make sure that this plan functions well, it becomes evident that the efficiency level of a rehearsal is extremely important for an ensemble. Many factors have an impact on the efficiency of the rehearsal. The rehearsal methodology of the conductor, the planning of the schedule and its execution, the design of the rehearsal period itself, the conducting technique and the utilisation of the warm-up are prominent topics that should be discussed. On top of that, human factors like communication, motivation and discipline should be taken into consideration. All the literature considered, these elements all affect the rehearsal efficiency and function in combination. Logistics such as location, timing, transportation and subsistance are not to be neglected and they can be powerful in boosting performance, as well as decreasing rehearsal productivity when they are not taken care of. The allocation of the resources like the score library or the archive have strong effects on the outcomes of a rehearsal. Last but not least, the organisation within the choir, the self-governance structures, and the very existence of a board, extended representation tools, working groups, and general assembly are crucial for a healthy functioning of a choir, thus its efficiency in the rehearsals. Looking at the case study of the Wiener Singverein, a world-class choir with a rooted history and tradition, one can see how a season full of professional engagements can be managed with a membership of amateur singers. The case study primarily teaches the reader that the rehearsal is not a result of an improvised performance, but each and every aspect of it is carefully planned and crafted by the conductor and the driving forces of the choir. As a conclusion, this dissertation claims that five fundamental points can summarise the road to a more efficient rehearsal. These are the following points: Planning for different scenarios, preparing musically in great detail, communicating towards a positive environment, building a strong and sustainable team, and supporting the choir outside the rehearsal room.
