    Brian Incheck Observation


    11/4

    Sequence of Activities
    -Individual student tuning / warm-up
    -During individual practice time, Incheck went and asked around about students’ interest in the
    Junior Regional Orchestra audition
    -Tuning as a group
    -Rehearsal of a song in a method book, possibly a warm-up?
    -Breakdown of rehearsals/events coming up for the upcoming weeks
    -Rehearsal of other piece

    Observed Teacher Behaviors

    -Incheck has created a teacher persona leaning heavily on dry humor and a driven style of
    teaching that resonates well with students.
    -Incheck is driven, having a set lesson plan for class and being proactive in preventing mistakes
    while also correcting mistakes quickly.
    -Incheck has a very loud and goal-oriented personality where his voice fills the room
    -Conducting style is very clear, giving these younger musicians very clear beat 1’s.
    -Teaching is explained to students in a very straightforward way, including a breakdown of
    conducting in segments where it might be confusing

    Observed Student Behaviors

    -The students have been drilled on this beginning process of tuning and the daily doses of every
    class. They are well disciplined in terms of not talking and knowing warm-up repertoire.
    -Responsive to instructor’s instructions, sometimes needs reminders of discipline
    -Incheck’s loud voice and personality is fit to drown out any type of side-talking

    Teaching Strategies Observed / Effectiveness

    -Incheck regularly plays instruments in class to give a constant example to students of correct
    intonation as well as technique.
    -Incheck plays the parts of the numerous instruments so they students know what the parts sound
    like
    -Has a ‘toolbox’ of rehearsal techniques that the students are aware of, including ‘slow-motion’
    where the students play segments at a very slow tempo.
    -Exaggerates dynamics to get students to correctly play dynamics, including saying to play
    segments “as loud as humanly possible”
    -Does reps of smaller segments/smaller instrument groups, taking an approach of playing with
    the instrument group first and then listening/assessing the improvement of the smaller rehearsal
    spot without playing

    Final Thoughts

    I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Incheck’s class as he brings a sort of alacrity to the classroom
    that engages students and promotes a drive for excellence. Incheck has a clear goal for the future
    of his program and acts towards achieving this goal in his class. I particularly like Incheck’s
    drive to get students to audition for groups outside his class such as Junior Regional Orchestra.
    Incheck still holds a standard of quality with his students and exhibits this when expressing that
    any students’ auditions must be to the standard of what Incheck wants. Incheck’s rehearsal
    process and pedagogical tools is another facet of his teaching that I particularly like.

    Incheck is especially driven in accomplishing his goals within rehearsals, running an


    efficient rehearsal with these young students. Through building up a ‘toolbox’ of rehearsal
    strategies and methods that the students have knowledge upon because of Incheck’s doses of
    these strategies leads to a smooth and efficient rehearsal. Students are quiet and attentive thanks
    to the respect Incheck has garnered by exhibiting his knowledge of the music and his loud
    personality which covers up any side-talking within the class. Within rehearsal, Incheck is able
    to jump between instruments giving feedback on what is working and what isn’t working. When
    working with separate instruments, Incheck has goals on what these sections need to work on
    and therefore can more accurately guide them in getting better at their instrument. Overall, I very
    much enjoyed Mr. Incheck’s class and I’ll be sure to use some of his pedagogical techniques in
    my teaching.
