Providing expert points of view:
An instance where I would provide expert points of view (for middle or high school band) would be by bringing in someone trained on a specific instrument to work a sectional with a group of students on that same instrument. The students' reactions would be to actively listen and participate in the sectional with the expert. Hopefully, they will take away new and better techniques for playing their instrument than I could provide them with, especially if it's an instrument I'm weak on. Sometimes I may not have the resources or time to give a section the one on one attention they may need.
Some obstacles with bringing in outside experts would be me trusting them to teach my students correctly. The students may not behave as well with the expert as they would with me, or even vice versa. Maybe the students could decide that they like their sectional person better than me, and as a result, wouldn't pay me the attention that they should.
