Re: Block Schedule
I had band single blocked on A days and had technique classes on B days. On A days, we worked band music and on B days we worked fundamentals, long tones, slurs, sight-reading, scales, etc. The thinking is that if you do that on B days, then it makes it much easier to learn band music on A days. About half the kids were able to take band on both days and after I changed my thinking of how to teach, we actually were more prepared with less time wasted getting ready for events.
