This website has just about everything a band director would ever need. From resources about administration and fundraising, to sight-reading, theory, and ensemble skills, this is a tremendously beneficial resource for all band directors.
The purpose of this resource is to receive encouraging stories about directing band as well as receive tips and tricks for teaching. There are often instrument specific tips and tricks for teaching beginning instrumentalists as well as extended techniques. This blog shares new posts weekly.
This blog contains many posts that would be helpful for novice and experienced band directors alike. Of particular interest are the posts about improving the sound of particular instruments or exercises to help develop a stronger swing feeling in a jazz band.
Band Directors Talk Shop is a website devoted to helping band directors become better teachers. Posts on the site are from current and former band directors, as well as private lesson instructors. The website allows band directors to share suggestions and ideas on how to improve instruction so that students will have a better learning experience.
Kahoot! is an online/cloud-based program that allows users to create multiple-choice quizzes that are played on electronic devices (cell phones, iPads, etc.).
If you're not using Kahoot yet, you're missing out! It's a great place to find and create review quizzes that students can interact with using their iPads (or even their own phones for older kids). They absolutely love when we play Kahoot in our classroom!
Kahoot is an awesome website where you can create quizzes for your students. You can also access kahoot quizzes made by others. Students can login from their device and play the game/quiz in your classroom. They can also login at home for practice/homework.
This is a great site for making games for students. The games can be of anything you want. I have used it to reinforce rhythms, theory, and notation. It can be used for so much more.
