Dave Albert #2

This is a fascinating episode and somewhat controversial. This episode is about stand heights. Band directors have told students to raise their stand to where they can see the conductor. Dave explores what a lowering stand height can do for your program. We explore how low stand heights change the look and sound of the instrument and the ensemble. This brings to light that some teachers do not look at the overall presentation of their ensembles. On a personal note, presentation is a topic I am exploring with my own students. Also, we take a look at the pedagogical benefits of a lower stand height for younger students. After this podcast you might never look at this topic the same way again.
