| Session Title | Meaningful Middle School Band Rehearsals |
| Session Description | "Meaningful Middle School Band Rehearsals" The ultimate goal of a rehearsal and personal practice is an artistic performance. Daily routines start with warm up exercises and the practice of fundamental exercises that address the components of the music that will be used in the concert literature. The use of appropriate interval studies, slurs, articulation exercises, scales, chord progression studies, chorales plus rhythmic and technical exercises will be addressed. Young instrumentalists need an understanding of the structure of their band literature. They need to understand how rhythm, melody and harmony combine in their ensemble and personal performances. The use of lead sheets and practice loops facilitates the student’s understanding of how their individual part relates to the whole of the music. |
