*e goal of Figures 1 and 2 are to aid the students in creating a frame of reference of ensemble balance with specific listening responsibilities in real time. For the beginning of conceptual understanding of ensemble balance, students should have a tangible reference tool from which to manipulate their sounds. Oen times, educators assume this skill to be innate within the students when, in fact, it is not. ese figures provide a suggested starting place for instruction. By no means are the clinicians suggesting that all voices in music should be heard equally.
