Both bands had awesome rehearsals today! It gets me really pumped and reminds me why I went into music education! A lot goes into having a great rehearsal--more than you may think.
The first step happens before the students are in the room. I spend a good amount of time for each group I work with coming up with a plan for the rehearsal. From deciding what the warm up will consist of, to what sections of music we are going to work, to how those sections will be rehearsed, to educating the students (not just telling) about the critical parts of what is being rehearsed. While this can all fly out the window based on what the day throws at you, the more prepared I am, the better the rehearsal is going to go.
More to come...
