My secondary placement was at Hershey High School in Derry Township School District. With Brandon Buterbaugh, my cooperating teacher, I worked with the Symphonic Band, Wind Symphony, Jazz Ensemble, Indoor Percussion/Indoor Color Guard, and Freshman Seminar.
This project is an opportunity for musicians to improve their musicianship, playing, and connections with other members of the band. Split into two parts, students must first annotate a duet, including at a minimum the indicated markings. Students then use their devices to record themselves performing their duet.
This is a rubric I created to use for our sight reading performance accountability check. Students have 35 seconds to review the excerpt (created on SightReadingFactory) and then perform it. If desired, students may have a second attempt.
