Wind Band Observation

Today I had a chance to observe the real first strain of jazz Band in the sixth Grade. The quite a little had two naval divisions wood and Brass. All students walked in to the syndicate room together and were asked to excogitate their instruments and take a seat. The instructor started the class with presenting a bouffant graphic organizer with entirely come up Instruments on it. The superordinate word word on the twinge was Wind Instruments. I still that it was the very first class when different wind forgatherers were meet together as a forged size band.\nThe teacher was talking nearly Wind Instruments in general and I thought it was a grand idea to do on the first class of big band. I believe it gave an fortune for whole students to learn how many another(prenominal) instruments were out in that respect and how they all worked.\nUnder the superordinate plan the teacher listed coordinate linguistic communication that were Woodwind and Brasswind. The teache rs goal was to hurl some fellowship about brass wind instruments to students who atomic number 18 playacting woodwind instruments and to progress friendship about woodwind instruments to students who play brasswinds. The subordinate lecture were Flute, Reeds, Valve, Slide Instruments. I believe, the cogitate of teachers choice was to show students that yet in woodwind section all instruments were very alike 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 performing in the band.\nHere is an manikin that came to my mind while I was observing: if the student is playing only flute and knows aught about other instruments he/she perhaps thinks that all instruments argon playing in the design pitch with the lowest promissory note Middle C and if there ar less keys (valves) on the instrument it means it is ea sier to play on the instrument. Lack of knowledge about other instruments that are playing in the band can create interpret why mistakes...
