I think I just saw the finest example of classroom instruction that I have ever seen.
The room had no chairs but about 25 standing students. No desk, but a piano. No heavy technology, but a simple white marker board.
Mark Hosny, affectionately known as “The Hoz,” was teaching a group of music students. They were working on the practice of conducting a choir or musical rehearsal.
From the opening second, they were moving, exercising, breathing like musicians do, singing, responding to targeted questions, remembering what they had worked on before, stepping into the limelight and demonstrating a practice with the choir. They were performing at a remarkable level.
