This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is about trying to define the elements of a successful school instrumental program. Instrumental ensembles take various forms. The most obvious is the 'school band', which consists of any combination of brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments (sometimes a string instrument such as a double bass is added). Large instrumental ensembles are often known as 'concert bands', although there are other associated names. Primary schools may have a training band, for beginning players; and a performance band for senior players, the concert band being for intermediate players. Primary and secondary schools may also have a stage or big band (jazz band); and high schools in particular may have smaller ensembles such as a woodwind ensemble or string orchestra. Some schools may have enough strings to field a full symphony orchestra (strings, brass, woodwind, percussion). Worldwide, only a few studies have explored what makes a school instrumental music program successful and these have generally focused more on the capabilities of the director rather than on the program as a whole. There have been even fewer studies that have sought to define the elements that go towards setting up, implementing and running a successful school instrumental music program. This Handbook is drawn from the experiences of those who run such programs as music educators, directors and conductors of school instrumental programs; and those who assist as part of the school community that supports such programs. We hope that this Guide may assist all those who seek to develop a successful instrumental program in their own schools, whether they be professional directors or conductors, school staff, volunteer parents or, of course, the players themselves. Dr. Martin Hardy B.Mus.Ed., M.Mus., A.Mus.A. PhD. is a music educator and professional musician based in Sydney, Australia. As a conductor he has worked with many of the country's finest ensembles and has worked with junior beginner ensembles through to professional ensembles in all genres. Dr. Hardy has had extensive experience as a music educator. His commitment to supporting instrumental programs and teaching music was recognised by a New South Wales Education Minister's Award for Excellence in Teaching. Currently, Dr Hardy is Head Teacher of Creative and Performing Arts at Pittwater High School, on Sydney's Northern Beaches; Musical Director of The Sydney Northern Beaches Symphonic Wind Ensemble, and Conductor of the Northern Beaches Orchestra. He regularly adjudicates instrumental festivals, guest conducts ensembles and provides instrumental workshops for both students and teachers. Dr. Gerry Bates LlB (Hons); Ph.D is a parent volunteer at a High School on Sydney's Northern Beaches who used his background in research and analysis to develop a strategy to turn around the failing instrumental program at that School. He attended grammar school in England in the 1960s and the absence in his own school of any support for music education left him with the motivation that his own children should not be so deprived. This Handbook is based upon the strategy he devised for his own school and the experiences that flowed from it.

Download or read book Starting Out Right written by John Si Millican and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting Out Right: Beginning Band Pedagogy is the only complete resource for organizing, planning, and teaching beginning woodwind, brass, and percussion students. The book covers every aspect of teaching beginning band students from the first sounds on the instruments through the first full-band performances. It is the only comprehensive reference that offers step-by-step guidelines for teaching each beginning band instrument, as well as organizing and running a successful beginning band program. Based on the public school teaching experience of the author, the book is designed for use in undergraduate methods and pedagogy classes as well as for clinics and workshops at the undergraduate and graduate levels. This book is also designed to be a reference for the many novice teachers who lead beginning bands or those teachers whose expertise is not in the band realm. While the focus of the book is on teaching beginning band, much of the book can be of use to band instructors at any grade level. The book is divided into several parts, which cover the sound-to-sign-to-theory approach to teaching musical literacy; child development as it relates to teaching music; recruiting and retaining students; developing fundamental sounds and skills on each woodwind, brass, and percussion instrument; teaching students to read tonal and rhythmic music notation; and selecting and rehearsing beginning band solo, ensemble, and full-band music. The book also addresses curriculum design, scheduling, and staffing of band programs. Ideas about managing student records, inventory, and equipment are also given special attention. Written in a casual narrative style, the book features real-world examples of how the principles in the book might be applied to actual teaching situations. Another special feature of the book is a set of early field-experience application exercises. Starting Out Right guides readers as they explore a comprehensive individual and ensemble approach to teaching each woodwind, brass, and percussion instrument.
