Long Term Goal: Students will prepare for their MPA performance and develop listening skills that will allow them to
enhance the sonority, balance, and intonation of the ensemble.
Instructional objectives(s): Students will play all warmup exercises with good breath support and intonation with 100%
accuracy. Students will adjust their intonation based off of their role in each chord with 95% accuracy.

5 minutes Students will then play Bb in a round. The goal of this exercise is
still to focus on intonation. I will hold out certain chords that are
out of tune and build them from the bottom. Each section will
play their notes and pass it around the class so they can hear how
their note fits in the structure. Students will also be focusing on
playing with a big sound.
I will assess this by comparing this
sound to their sound at the beginning of
warmup to see if there is a difference in
intonation. I will also listen to individual
players as they pass the chord around
the room to assess tone quality.
