Speechless Rehearsal in the Middle School Choir Room
One of my favorite tools for middle school ensembles is the Speechless Rehearsal. Using classroom incentives and joining students in this challenge is sure to create a productive and fun learning environment for the day!
What is a Speechless Rehearsal?
During a Speechless Rehearsal, no one is allowed to talk. Not even the teacher! Using the piano, conducting gestures, and prompts on the board, students work through an entire rehearsal with no talking. This eliminates side conversations as well as any extra chatting, and creates an environment where maximum rehearsal efficiency can be achieved!
What You Need:
-Electronic board (SmartBoard, etc.)
You May Want: Supplemental materials, optional
What’s the Goal?
-Eliminate surplus talking
-Maximize rehearsal efficiency
-Increased attention to conducting gesture
