Interest Session - Renaissance, Ballroom E Score Study: Techniques for Improved Rehearsal and Performance - Mark Walker, Clinician Anne Witt, Presiding
Beginning with the idea that score study is, essentially, simpy rehearsal preparation, this clinic will provide the director with several techniques of score study that will improve the rehearsal, maximize time and effort, and result in improved performances. Topics that will be covered will include planning, time management, and rehearsal organization techniques that are derived from the study of the music in preparation for an eventual performance. Additional concepts to be covered include score marking, recordings, historical and genre contexts, compositional styles, pacing and reading, and various modes of analysis.

Prepared your program? Check. Practiced sight-reading? Check. Contemplated your warm-up? Huh? Warming up before a performance is a recommended and ubiquitous practice, yet, for many, it is the last thing considered before heading off to MPA. In this session we will explore the warm-up practices of elite athletes, describe the warm-up routines used by concert bands at MPA, and share exercises we believe will focus students and their director for a pinnacle performance.
Interest Session - Renaissance, Ballroom A Organizing Your Notes, Teaching, and Life - Brian Cocke, Clinician Lori Zachary, Presiding
Do you have scraps of paper and sticky notes everywhere and not sure how to organize them effectively? Do you have paper note books where you jot down ideas, but don’t have a great way to find and retrieve them without a lot of work? Where do you make notations about this year’s event about things to improve so that you can find them next year or make notes about a particular class so you remember the next time they come to you? Programs such as Evernote and Microsoft One Note are awesome programs that can get you organizing your teaching, job, and overall life effectively, at the palm of your hand, and on to go!
