In my first rehearsal I believe there was a mixture of successful
sections and less successfully sections. At first I think I was just
surprised to see that I could actually ‘do it’ it some sense, that is get
up in front of the class and conduct the rehearsal.
I think the aspect which I believe held up the rehearsal was the fact
that I often took too long giving out instructions, or talking. I think the
best rehearsals consist mainly of singing or playing, not the conductor
talking. I think for my next rehearsal I would like to have very clear
instructions prepared so that I know I will be able to effectively
implement them without wasting time. This time wasting prevented
me from moving through as many steps as I had planned for. So for
next rehearsal I am going to structure it in a way that allows me to
move quickly from step to step utilising the time as effectively as
possible.
