7th Grade Band

Hello and welcome to our rehearsal 7th Grade!

We have a lot to do today! I have a microphone and PA set up for our first real rehearsal of Hamilton, including with the rappers!

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 evaluate my performance using our 4 point rating scale and give concrete examples of how to improve.

I can play My Shot from Hamilton at a 2 or more on our 4 point rating scale.

Here is our plan:

1) I will greet you at the door and hand you a red clip. I will explain the various uses for the clip (questions and bathroom) during the rehearsal.

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

3) Warm Ups! - Scales and rudiments

4) Please find a copy of "My Shot" from Hamilton on your stand.

6) Discuss hip hop. What is Hamilton about? Read the lyrics.

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

8) Practicing assignments (if there is time we will address Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach)

I look forward to seeing you for PLC!
