ASSIGNMENTS
You will be expected to observe 3 different instrumental rehearsals from among the following: senior high band, senior high orchestra, junior high/middle school band, junior high/middle school orchestra, marching band, jazz band. Each observation should be carried out at a different school site and with a different, full-time, certified teacher. Each student will be expected to hand in (1) a written report of the observations addressing the questions in the outline and (2) a completed observation verification form for each teacher visited.
Each of you will have two opportunities to teach your peer ensemble on one of the scores assigned from the score packet. These sessions should demonstrate your understanding of rehearsal frames and effective teaching behavior. Following your second teaching session, you will be expected to complete a self-evaluation focusing on specific aspects of your teaching. Prior to and following your teaching sessions, you are welcome to meet with any of the instructors to review your plan, evaluate your success and receive feedback. You and your colleagues
have been given a budget of $800.00 to purchase new literature for the
instrumental music program. Given the recording collection your group has
received in class, select the pieces you (as a group) wish to purchase.
Collaboratively, write one paragraph for each piece in which you describe why
you chose it; include the composer/arranger and price. Come to class with
copies for each of your class colleagues. Be prepared to share a brief
portion of a recording of one of your selections and be ready to explain why
it was your favorite. Each student will be assigned one of the four scores in the course packet to analyze in detail (for the Bartok, please analyze any 5 of the 10 movements). Following the outline presented in class, complete an analysis of your assigned score that includes historical, stylistic, contextual and formal information. You may work on this in a group and will present this collaboratively, but everyone will be expected to turn in an individual analysis. Use textual, graphical and musical formats as appropriate.
