6th Grade Band

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal for 6th grade!

Amazing job on our concert! I am very proud of you. It is time now for us to get up and moving on new pieces. Today's rehearsal will be spent doing a little maintenance. It is time to hand  back our music from the first concert, get some new music from the second, go over the results of our concert survey together, and choose our student selected piece!

Our Learning Targets:

(Drums)  I can play a single stroke, double stroke, and five stroke roll. I can play flams and flam taps

Wind and bells: I can play a concert Bb major, Eb major, and F major scale with arpeggio

I can defend the decision to play classical music on the next concert and construct an argument as to why it a good idea to do so.

I can choose a favorite song that I would like to play on our next concert and give my thoughts on concert organization.

Here is our plan:

1) Objective discussion: while you walk in you will hearing a recording of some songs. Get set up and in your seats quickly. We will review our learning targets.

2) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

3) After warming up we will be doing some discussion. We will go over the results of our student selected piece survey. If you haven't voted yet, this is your final chance. https://docs.google.com/a/newfairfieldschools.org/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSegwbE52_CAUszlnBVDyP_H5zUs3AzYaLkk2nkuEoprWvuW3A/viewform

5) Please find a copy of "Finale from the Firebird" on your stand.

6) Discuss 3/4 time.

7) Rehearse sections. (teacher modeling, discuss the STAR sight reading protocol)

8) Practicing assignments!

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
