Using Your Eyes, Ears, and Intuition in Rehearsal
When directors rehearse their ensembles, they assess a sea of information: pitch, intonation, posture, rhythms, and much more. After the cut-off, what is the first thing to address? In this session, Dr. Russell Greene will share research on how expert band directors evaluate performances and what novice teachers can do to avoid common distractors.
Session Objectives:
Participants will understand research related to multivariate perception and reasoning.
Participants will develop a toolkit for addressing errors in a rehearsal.
Participants will acquire strategies for teaching their students to assess and correct their own errors.
