Wind Band Observation

Today I had a chance to observe the precise first clique of tinge Band in the sixth Grade. The great deal had two constituents woods and Brass. All students walked in to the conformation room together and were asked to originate their instruments and take a seat. The teacher started the class with presenting a bulky graphic organizer with whole(prenominal) rove Instruments on it. The superordinate word on the pass by was Wind Instruments. I mum that it was the very first class when different wind cinchers were shock together as a monolithic size band.\nThe teacher was talking round Wind Instruments in general and I thought it was a neat idea to do on the first class of big band. I believe it gave an fortune for tout ensemble students to learn how umpteen instruments were out in that respect and how they all worked.\nUnder the superordinate pattern the teacher listed coordinate speech that were Woodwind and Brasswind. The teachers goal was to pee-pee some i ntimacy about brass wind instruments to students who argon play woodwind instruments and to glide by association about woodwind instruments to students who play brasswinds. The subordinate linguistic process were Flute, Reeds, Valve, Slide Instruments. I believe, the crusade of teachers choice was to show students that correct in woodwind section all instruments were very equivalent and very different at the same time as well as in the brass section all instruments were similar and different at the same time. All students had an opportunity to have some knowledge about all instruments that were compete in the band.\nHere is an sample that came to my mind while I was observing: if the student is playing only flute and knows zip about other instruments he/she perhaps thinks that all instruments atomic number 18 playing in the project pitch with the lowest argumentation Middle C and if there are less keys (valves) on the instrument it means it is easier to play on the i nstrument. Lack of knowledge about other instruments that are playing in the band can create misinterpret why mistakes...
