Student Teaching Day 20


My Day
Today I worked with the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, and observed and played with the guitar class.  I video taped myself teaching several lessons in the Wind Ensemble.  

Instrument techniques
Brass
          When brass players (trumpets) are sharp make sure the student isn’t putting too much pressure  
          against their mouth.  


 Video and pictures
The following is a video of me teaching a section in "An American Elegy."  I did a lot better this time at saying exactly what I wanted and successfully communicating it to the students.  I need to work on keeping my elbow and shoulder down during my conducting. Please feel free to click the video to take you to the youtube link so my method of instruction is more readable on the video. 
  

The following are some pictures of me teaching today.
