Overview
The effective delivery of an instrumental music curriculum is contingent on the knowledge and ability of the teacher in two associated areas: multi-instrument instruction and conducting technique. Through foundational studies of multi-instrument and conducting techniques, you will have the opportunity to develop the pedagogical skills and concepts required to deliver successful group instrumental music instruction and ensemble direction for beginning students. In this unit, you will be required to undertake a second instrument study in an area of your choice from the woodwind, brass or percussion families of instruments, performing repertoire and exercises relative to the beginner level. Additionally, you will develop ensemble directing skills and conducting techniques for beginner ensembles.
