Our next concert performance is already starting to take shape. You folks sound fantastic, but there is a lot of work to be done. There are 52 of you, and 31 are continuing in band next year at the high school. Wonderful! But we need excellence not just from 31, or 41, or you. We need excellence from ALL of you! Keep practicing! Keep working! Be the best musician you can be. The better you get this year, the more likely music will be a part of your life for years to come. Whatever you choose to do at the high school with band, keep playing your instrument, even if it is just for you and no one else. It will enrich your life.
Today's lesson plan:
1) Scales
2) Chorales
3) Tuning
4) "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder, arranged by Murtha.
Lunch Break!
5) Little Mermaid
6) Run through, record, and self assess. Discuss trouble spots
7) Rehearse sections. Rehearsal methods include direct instruction, sectionals, and student conductors.
8) Run through and self assess. Was there growth? If yes, why? If not, why not?
9) Revisit the planets: run through and then various rehearsal techniques
10) Closure.
Have an amazing week!
Mr. A
