'Which style of musical rehearsal is most effective and how can I positively create it when working with youth?'
EDITED: How can I choose the most successful choir rehearsal method?
Q: Why did you select this as your essential question? What excites you most about finding the answer to this essential question? Do you feel that this question accurately reflects a desire/need that you have to find out more about this topic?
A: I often find myself trying different types of styles to help my choir members learning faster and more efficiently. There are so many different ways to teach it almost seems impossible to try them all. With it being music, it's often hard to do hands-on activities; and that's what youth today enjoy most (including me). But it's an exciting process and it's always fun to experiment with different ways to rehearse (whether with choir, drama, or musical theater). As I strive to go into music/theater education, learning the best possible way to help today's youth learn is something that I will need and will help me in the future. With already being the director of a choir, it presents an opportunity to learn to teach before my college career.
This will be an interesting HMP project. One that will also help you in your career. You can actually research various rehearsal methods -
ReplyDeleteI suggest 'tweaking' your wording on the EQ to:
"How can I compare and contrast various rehearsal methods to lead youth choirs?" Or, "How can I choose the most successful choir rehearsal method?"
