C.J. Primary Observation 2/2/2012
When we went to observe CJMS we also did our podium etiquette. I feel the podium etiquette should not have been included, I feel it was a waste of time for the school teacher, I feel when we broke into sectionals that would have been a good day to place it on, because we had to introduce our selves again anyways. From our observations her orchestra is very good! for the age group and the disproportional player ratio, they were good and I felt like they watched her, unlike most school orchestras. I still can not get over the principal cellist, he was into the music and very good! I also like the way she made the class do that opening rhythm excersise, im not sure if she does that everyday or not but I will defiantly be using that when I teach.

I disagree that the podium etiquette should not have been included. For all five observers to go took less that two minutes, and it was an excellent way to introduce you to the group and explain what we are doing there. Many young teachers forget that they need to explain WHY they are are teaching what they teach--the importance of placing context into a music classroom cannot be overstated. Still, I appreciate your feedback and will consider it in the future.
