Planning an Instrumental Rehearsal

Abstract

STUDY of the activities of music teachers and supervisors will reveal that the element of planning, so vital to all modern life, is found in widely varying degrees. It is seldom found in its completeness. Often its presence is almost negligible. No one will deny the importance of planning in any kind of teaching. There may be some doubt as to how far it may apply, and as to how thoroughly it should be done. Since rehearsals occupy a goodly share of the attention of the school music teacher and supervisor of today, and since many of the points which apply to the rehearsal may also apply to class and private lessons, the purpose of this article is to offer some sugtions on the problem, Planning an Instrumental Rehearsal.
