I think that in a lot of schools, performance is concentrated on more than the actual learning and improvement of the ensembles skills. The idea is to teach the students, not to just play the piece and move on taking nothing from what they have performed.To help enforce skills, perhaps the director could have the students apply what they should have learned through sight reading or warm-up exercises.

We also talked about this in our MUS 374 class (with Dr. Owen). We discussed how it really should be a requirement that every student be able to perform at least one piece MUSICALLY by the time they graduate. It's hard to assess this, but don't you think it's rare that you actually hear a MUSICAL performance? We should really be aiming to teach our students how to perform musically, not just technically well.
