While trying to find ways to improve my chamber music playing, I turned to the source of all knowledge and found this on Youtube.
Good Stuff for sure:
Brass Quintet rehearsal techniques.

Re: Brass Quintet rehearsal techniques.
When looking towards a quintet gig - and the pay is extravagant enough to afford a rehearsal, if anyone isn’t ready to play their parts, they’re sort of (albeit politely/unspoken) looked upon as a bit of (well) a dolt. I’m not saying that they’re “shunned”, nor that the others don’t strive to help them along…
The only exception might be sight-reading an extremely difficult piece which was just set on the stands in front of people’s faces, and there are no online performances of the piece available for auditing.
Even with some of these “tongue twister” compositions out there (composers such as such as David Sampson, as an example), there are good performances online (or downloadable for a buck) that can be used to assist in preparing to rehearse them.
