This week on the podcast, Michael and Sam offer tips on how to be a better band director:
Getting educated and your skillset - Not a natural? Besides college, they discuss how to improve in a way that benefits your band and ministry
Preparing for Sunday - Hints for closely listening to a song (also see episodes “Arranging for Your Band” and “How to learn a new tune” for more); how to handle inevitable last-minute changes.
Knowing your Ensemble Well - Relationships are key, how to be aware of your ensemble’s status, give constructive feedback, and when to do more than just “play through” a song.
Communicating in Rehearsals - “Transitioning” your ensemble’s focus to more than a set list,
compensating for technical limitations, communicating during rehearsal VS. during performance.
“Going Off Book” - Building flexible plans and keeping your band in the loop.
