    Lesson Topic and Grade: Wind Ensemble; 9-12

    National Standards of Music:

    of a varied repertoire of music representing diverse cultures and styles.
    Instructional Objectives:
     Students will self-evaluate trouble areas in The Polar Express
     The ensemble will be able to play from measure 70 to the end of The Polar Express
     The ensemble will sound balanced with a nice blend
     Students will play with good tone quality and accurate pitch/rhythm

    Materials:
     The Polar Express
     Instruments

    Opening/Introduction Activity
     Concert F
     F stretches
     Concert Eb scale
    1. Tune
     Chorale 14 (Chester)
    1. Focus on: balance, blend, shaping a phrase (4 bar phrases)
    Learning Opportunities/Procedure:
     Beginning of Polar Express
     Remember dynamics and phrasing, moving lines
     Measure 144 (start at 138 to get into it)
    1. Work out 16th notes in woodwinds
    2. Always overlap
    a. Last note is first note of next run
     16th notes at 154 in ww
     Transition to measure 164

    2. Listen more to inner voices/moving parts
    3. “When Christmas Comes to Town”
    a. Sweetly, singing
    b. Smoothness in leaps, don’t be too jarring
    c. Transition to measure 104

    Closing Activity
     Run 70-end
    Assessment:
     The concert is just under two months away, so I need to assess exactly what fine details will need worked out in the next few
    weeks. The run of the second half of the piece will be very telling for this, especially since this ensemble has not looked at this
    piece with me in over a week.

    Reflection:
     This rehearsal was very productive. Students were receptive to my instruction and we got through the target area with a lot of
    success. However, through listening to a recording of rehearsal I realized there are many things, particularly regarding
    intonation, that I need to address. We will definitely be doing this in our next rehearsal.
