What are some good interview questions to ask someone applying for a MS assistant band director position? I have my questions already, just want to see if there are other ideas out there that might spark something.
For context, Mid sized 2C suburban middle school near a major metropolitan area.
If it's a brass person, ask them what a typical beginner clarinet class might look like. Let them ask follow up questions (beginning of the year, middle, etc.) Same thing but vice versa for woodwinds. Ask percussionist to describe a non-percussion class.
Ask them what a typical non-varsity rehearsal looks like. Ask them what they see themselves doing during a varsity rehearsal.
What are values you find important? If you value communication and they don't mention it, that's big.
