Orchestra+Lesson+Plan

This was a lesson plan for a string orchestra in which playing by yourself and in groups while focusing on a spiccatto bowing style due to the requirement to play the style for the music we were playing.

Hey Viktor, it's an excellent idea to enforce spiccato in the warm so students can apply it to the music they will be playing later in rehearsal. Since you find yourself readdressing things that have already been discussed, one thing that may help them remember is by having a visual representation of what spiccato should sound like. Use the marker board to draw shapes of what the notes should sound like to give the students another way of thinking about how to play the notes with the right articulation. Also, write the symbol for spiccato above each shape so the students are associating the two together. Something new to try if you havn't already! -Garrett
