Should you go to assessment? Are there viable alternatives? What are the judges even listening for? How do we use assessment to further our musical goals? All this and more in this episode!
We’re back with some tips for sight reading at assessment!
We chat with 3 teachers with various levels of experience about the process of student teaching and how it does and doesn't prepare you for the gig!
This year, my school (Shelburne Middle School) was picked to play at our state conference. I invited legends Harry Farmer from Blacksburg MS and Scott Allred from Fieldale-Collinsville MS on the show for advice and guidance.
Perspectives on interviews from Alan Shull, Principal of Fort Defiance High school, and Barry Flowe, former Curriculum Supervisor of Hanover County.

1Pick of the weekThunder Dragon by Michael Story Published by Alfred.Buy/Listen: https://bityl.co/7IlW This work is based on a song from the southern Asian country of Bhutan. There are four contrasting variations that are meant to paint a picture of thunderstorms that cascade down the Himalayas. This piece opens with beautiful chant-like sections including an extended low brass feature right off the bat. The arrangement grows in layers as the piece goes on and grants a complex image of Bhutanese life.
