Asynchronous Beginner Lesson<\/h1>\r\n

Warm Up Routine<\/h4>\r\nCreate a warm up\/daily technique routine that would be appropriate for a beginning of second year brass player with 5-7 distinct activities in sequence. For each activity, briefly<\/strong>\u00a0explain the function of that activity in terms of preparing students for playing and developing critical technical skills.\r\n

Beginner Lesson Plan<\/h4>\r\nYou should submit a proposed lesson plan for teaching a beginner a basic warm up sequence on your current instrument. \u00a0Make sure to consider basic fundamentals including posture, air support, embouchure, and tone production. \u00a0Your lesson should be between 5-8 minutes in duration and include a list of objectives, activities, and assessment measures using the attached lesson plan rubric.\r\n

Beginner Lesson Video<\/h4>\r\nTeach the lesson you created in Beginner Lesson Plan. \u00a0Make sure to review feedback on your lesson plan before teaching the lesson. \u00a0The lesson should be video recorded--don't worry too much about video quality provided that your voice is clear and students can see your engagement with your instrument.\r\n\r\nYour video should be uploaded to your YouTube channel. Make sure to have it listed as either \"Unlisted\" or \"Public.\"\r\n\r\nRubric<\/strong>\r\n\r\nVideo-<\/i>50 points\r\n

    Method Book Lesson<\/h1>\r\n

    Method Book Review<\/h4>\r\nReview the band method book provided in class for its strengths and weaknesses as a text for instructing beginning brass students. Your review should consider the developmental issues encountered by beginning brass players and the responsiveness of the method book to those needs.\r\n\r\nConsider the entire method book, including the following considerations:\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Gettin<\/strong>g<\/strong> Started-<\/strong>How do the first pages address the needs and abilities of beginning brass players? Specifically, in what ways does the book meet those needs and abilities? In what ways will beginning players potentially encounter issues not addressed by the book?<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Sequencing<\/strong>-How does the method book address the development of beginning brass players? Specifically, how does the book address developing brass players' growth appropriately? In what ways does the book skip or ignore important developmental steps?<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Inclusivity<\/strong>-How does the method book represent a range of musical practices and approaches? Specifically, how does the music within the method book simultaneously build student abilities, maintain student interest, and introduce a variety of music styles? \u00a0In addition to what is included, what is not included?<\/li>\r\n \t
    • Instruction<\/strong>-How does the method book guide students in their technical development? Specifically, what instruction is included that helps students better understand technique on their instrument? What instructions will the teacher need to provide apart from what is in the method book?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

      Method Book Lesson Plan<\/h4>\r\nThere are two parts to this lesson plan:\r\n\r\n1. You will be teaching 5 minutes of class<\/strong> with your peers as your class. For this lesson, you will be using a standard class method book and preparing a\u00a0concept-based lesson using an exercise from that book. You should submit a
