Have a rehearsal plan and share it with the students.

More playing, less talking by the director.

* 6. In the discussion on Preparing Students for High School Band, which of the following comments was made. Please select all that apply. (20 pts)

Because the middle school director has so much to teach, there's not enough time to devote to preparing the students for high school.

When possible, you should look for ways to ensure your students know the high school director.

You must make sure that the middle school students are well-taught in playing fundamentals.

The director should borrow pieces that the high school band intends to play in the future and rehearse those in class.
