Technology has created new concert etiquette challenges...web hosting
While checking my Facebook page, I noticed one of my younger brothers friends post vps hosting:
"At the orch concert messing around backstage." Now, before we get angry that our student is
"messing around," let's askwhy he is doing so: "We're just sitting back here. Not allowed
to do anything. dedicated server"
It is obvious to us, highly trained and skilled musicians, that during a concert one should be
listening to the music and showing respect for the performers.For our students, this is not
always the case. So to prevent this behavior we must be proactive. Try creating a listening
assignment for students to complete while not performing. Give them something meaningful
to listen for, some way to stay engaged. Be careful not to turn this into "busy-work domain registration."
Be mindful of all of your students both during rehearsals and concerts!
