Post Rehearsal or Lesson Reflections

Content Adjustment: Based on diagnostic and formative assessments during today’s lesson/rehearsal, list any repertoire
or activities that were omitted from the plan. Why? Will the omitted items need to be included in tomorrow’s
lesson/rehearsal?

Nothing was omitted from todays lesson.

Rehearsal or Lesson Adjustment: If you were going to re-teach today’s lesson/rehearsal, how would you have done it
differently.

I would have questioned the students on the Eb scale before starting the handout to encourage memorization and
scaffolding.

Reflection on Teaching: Analyze and evaluate your lesson/rehearsal and classroom management.

Today’s lesson went well. The students learned the Eb scale quickly with minor errors. Many students didn’t understand the
difference between ‘your’ scale and ‘concert’ scale. That will be something to review in the next lesson. For classroom
management, the majority of students stayed engaged for the duration of class with few disturbances.
