A Profile of Rehearsal Techniques and Interaction of Selected Band Conductors
The investigator made a descriptive study of the rehearsals of five high school band directors as an initial step in the development of a profile of the rehearsal behaviors of successful high school band conductors. Rehearsal components examined were the affective nature of the rehearsals, the elements of instrumental performance which concerned the conductors, and the techniques they used to resolve those concerns. Erbes' RIOS instrument was used to determine the affect of the rehearsals, and a time and frequency study of the conductors' verbal interaction was used to ascertain the conductors' concerns and rehearsal techniques.
