C-Roc Music Assignments

Where do I get my chamber music?

It is necessary for you to purchase, borrow, or photocopy your part of the printed music.  Consider your local library or a chamber music teacher to borrow the music.  Unedited, Urtext, or Henle editions are preferred if you are purchasing.

If you wish to purchase the music it is available from:


Before the first rehearsal

A few chamber music basics that can make your chamber music experience more rewarding:

  • If any of your music has single sheets, be sure that you tape them together or insert into a ringed binder before arriving.
  •  Get a copy of the score and study it as you listen to a commercial recording.
    follow the suggestions in Practice and Rehearsals
    Use Score Study 101 as an example of how to mark your music
  • It is important that you are able to play your part at tempo prior to the first rehearsal.
  • Getting help from your private teacher and marking fingerings and bowings in your part before you come to camp is highly encouraged and very important.
  • A good ‘test’ to see if you are properly prepared is to try and play through your part along with a professional recording of the assigned piece.
