New techniques

I am attempting something new for me this semester. I am working toward planning six weeks of lessons for my band at a time. Robert Sheldon suggested this in a demonstration rehearsal I attended at Midwest, and so I'm giving it a shot. My concern is that by week five or six the plans will no longer seem valid. That said, what's the worst that can happen? I have to rewrite the last week or two of plans?

I'm also working on including more Comprehensive Musicianship through Performance (CMP) techniques. First and foremost involves the form of a fugue. I started by introducing it using a video from YouTube. It worked quite well, and also allowed me to show the original fugue as a projection. Eventually, I hope to have my students compose a fugue themselves. I intend to keep the results of my experiment posted here.
