In the 2020/21 season, we held all programs virtually.
Every Elemental Music ensemble student received:
WEEKLY 60 MINUTE ZOOM “REHEARSALS”
Students explored concepts as a large ensemble for 15 minutes, followed by 45 minutes in smaller sectional breakout rooms that were instrument-specific, with a low student-to-teacher ratio.
WEEKLY PRACTICE-ALONG VIDEOS
Created by our teachers, these weekly videos focused on specific skills for guided practice at-home!
REGULAR CHECK-IN FEEDBACK
Directors reviewed video submissions made by students to demonstrate and support new skills learned, providing constructive feedback.
VIRTUAL ENSEMBLE VIDEO SHOWCASE & AT-HOME CONCERT EXPERIENCE
Each unit concluded with the premiere of a virtual ensemble recording! In conjunction with the video premiere, students participated in an at-home performance so they could simulate the concert experience with their families.
