How can I improve my band?
ONE Thing That Improved Student Performance in Band (well, really 64 things…)
- Brought back scale tests.
- “Around the room” and “down the line”
- Guided practice worksheets for homework instead of practice reports.
- Hearing every student play something every day.
- On-line recorded playing assessments.
- Pass off challenges.
What makes a band successful?
Decent bands can get by with basic bass riffs and drum beats, but bands like Tool are incredible because each musician has accumulated a vast understanding of their instrument and has the ability to contribute valuable input. To be a great band, make sure each individual person has their own unique talent.
