Class observing HPO rehearsal

The Rehearsal Experience

 

Bring your class to watch the HPO rehearse for a pops or masterworks series concert.

 

How does this relate to the music curriculum?

The rehearsal experience is a great resource for teaching a number of knowledge and critical thinking elements from the Ontario music curriculum.

It covers areas from the "knowledge of elements" section:

  • Learning conducting patterns, identifying tone colours, identifying instrument families.

It also covers elements from the critical thinking section:

  • Expressing responses to music from different cultures
  • Describing how different elements are used to create moods, describing thoughts and feelings about music using language, explaining a preference for a particular piece using language.

The rehearsal experience will be approximately 1 hour to 1:20 long. (Students should be back to school by lunch time.)
