For Group Ex Instructors or Coordinators: How do you teach new instructors to cue on the 32 count?
I am looking for effective resources for teaching a small group of instructors-in-training how to cue on the 32 count. I have a great ACE DVD from Lawrence Biscontini but am looking for more resources, particularly those that can be used at home for the instructors who have a harder time grasping this and need to spend more time practicing it. If you know of anything instructors can listen to, watch, any how-tos, or group drills, please share! Thanks!
The first thing I teach new instructors is how to hear the downbeat, then how to hear the musical phrase. 32-beat music is easiest, but I also work with songs that aren’t 32-beat mixed, so I show people how to count in this manner, so they can listen to music and “read” it, and then start thinking about cues. It all happens together.
