A collection of videotaped music rehearsals for teaching music education students ways to improve ensemble performances.
Description
Using Rehearsal Techniques, music education students become familiar with the teaching styles of several music educators. Lessons present a large variety of teaching situations, techniques, and personalities in video segments of recorded live rehearsals. Segments are accompanied by a teacher’s explanation, and an observer’s commentary. The goal of the lessons is to teach prospective music educators concepts such as accents, unifying articulations, matching tone and pitch, and other key concepts.
