DEVELOPING ERROR
DETECTION SKILLS IN THE
WIND BAND EDUCATOR
Catheryn Foster & Ward Miller.
Become a better conductor by becoming a
better listener. Often, one of the greatest
challenges for band directors is detecting
errors in rehearsal quickly and easily.
This comprehensive resource provides
a sequential, research-based approach
for improving error detection skills in four
fundamental areas: rhythm, pitch, dynamics,
and articulation. Central to this resource
are more than 200 listening examples,
recorded with and without errors, which
progress in difficulty from simple one-voice
melodies to more complex two- and four-
voice arrangements. Importantly, each unit
introduces only a single musical element,
such as rhythm, before combining multiple
elements in the cumulative units. The book
culminates in error detection practice with
full wind ensemble recordings excerpted
from the standard literature. Based on the
input of nearly 50 practicing band directors,
the book also lists common performance
errors educators are likely to encounter and
includes sample lesson plans for predicting
and preventing errors before they occur. For
educators at every level, this indispensable
resource is sure to make you a better listener,
leading to improved performances from your
ensemble!
