I turned this reaction into a long one, lol sorry!  There were FINALLY some realistic moments about pedagogy and HOW to inspire beginning musicians in a concert band setting.  Installing a successful pedagogy and maintaining the many moving parts of a band program from the instructional POV is important to talk about.

You just had to drop this as I was getting ready to work on a 1,000 page essay for my Master's class... xD

18:45 to 25:52. This 100% happened to me. Played percussion in middle school and had a great time doing it, a lot of fun. When I got to high school, it was great the first year, but after that it was a downward spiral and no longer fun. Usually would get the woodblock part or the crash symbol part and spend most of my time sitting there doing nothing. Then you get other instrument players that have more time with the instructor saying the percussion section is full of half-brained musicians. I remember thinking how cool the timpani would have been to learn, but there was never the opportunity for instruction, not as a beginner. Not in high school, where there was already some expectation that you know what to do. Perhaps I could have been more vocal about it, but the seasoned timpani player would always be the one playing. And the one time I got an opportunity to play something more challenging, I didn't feel like I had enough knowledge to do it well and felt humiliated in front of the class. In my senior year, it just felt like I was staying in the class until I reached the end goal. My desire to be a musician was dead, but I never lost my appreciation for music.

Hi, just thought you might enjoy this orchestral cover of the OP:

I have the feeling that Taki does teach off-screen, in a similar way on how he taught them at another episode by visiting sector by sector.

I’m obviously super late to this, but just wanted to add that my high school also had a Percussion Techniques class. I’m a trombonist/euphonium player, so I can’t say for sure exactly what they covered, but I do know that they would play 1 or 2 percussion ensemble pieces before every concert. One of my best friends was good enough to be percussion section leader all 4 years, and after college, she and her professor reestablished the PASIC (I think that’s what it’s called) branch out here in Colorado a few years ago and that she was going to focus on furthering percussion-specific education in the state. From the conversations I had with her after her undergraduate recital, she told me that she likely would not have continued with music had it not been for the exposure she got from that Percussion Tech class.
