Practice time is unlimited, and practice space is a musician's dormitory room, a laboratory, or one of the sheds scattered through the woods of the old 300-acre farm on which the college was started in 1947. Thus the woods are full of sounds and sweet airs. When players think a work is ready, a decision will be made whether to perform it privately at an informal concert for fellow musicians or for the weekend public-or simply to continue playing it for pleasure...
