This lesson plan highlights the practice of 16th notes through a variety of games and activities. It also prepares the students for learning the half note.
A summary of a half hour lesson with a beginning brass player. We would start with learning to buzz, buzzing on the mouthpiece, matching pitches with just the mouthpiece, then how to create a good tone on the instrument.
This is a long-term lesson plan for one piece: "Prelude, Siciliano, and Rondo: Rondo." It includes understanding the form of a rondo, the techniques for properly performing each section, and time to work together in sectionals.
This is a one-day lesson plan for beginning a jazz composition project using a basic chord progression and creating a melody to follow it. The students would be assigned partners and together they would present the finished product to the class with the possibility that we will use their composition as the "head" for one of our performance pieces.
These are rubrics that I would use as a starting basis to evaluate students on their preparedness for and performance during our concerts.
