Description
The traditional model of direct instruction performance ensemble rehearsal is leaving behind a large number of musicians in our modern world. When we update our teaching strategies to include students who need more movement, shorter learning periods, or time to verbally process learning, we are able to include so many more young musicians in our ensembles. This workshop will model strategies that can be easily incorporated into the rehearsal of performance ensembles. It is a hands on experience to learn how we can include more styles of learners into our music ensembles, creating a richer tapestry of experience for everyone.
