    As a beginning band teacher, this program is incredibly valuable. Be Part of the Band is a fantastic resource to aide music educators in the recruitment process. The program offers high quality tools to help attract as many students to the band program as possible. Proper recruitment is crucial to the success of a program but is sometimes overlooked, and this program has a variety of ways to help bridge the gap between participating and non-participating students. On top of everything, the resources on this website are completely free of charge.

    Be a Part of the Band is a phenomenal resource for band directors to use to encourage students to join band programs. The videos outline the different instruments, as well as the positives about being a member of the band. It is very easy to include these videos on school websites as a resource for parents as well.

    Beapartoftheband.com is an awesome resource for beginning band teachers. Recruitment is such a huge part of the beginning of the school year and Scott Lang's resources are great! This website provides free resources for both recruitment and organization for bands. Individuals are able to make donations to the program, but no payment is required. Beapartoftheband.com not only provides demonstration videos for each instrument, the site also provides eighteen documents to assist with the recruitment process.

    Band recruitment is the biggest event in the life of a band director.  This site features high quality tools to help make our lives easier. It also features famous people that have been band members.  Students need to relate to the bigger picture sometimes.  They need to see that big athletic stars can be in the band as well.  I am always looking for new perspective to recruitment.

    Repertoire list for younger or developing band programs. There is a lot of grade 3-4 literature on this list which would be out of range for many middle schools, but should someone have a Jr. High situation or an advanced middle school band, this would be a tremendous resource.

  • It’s important to step back and think about how educators have influenced you, because your teaching philosophy depends on it
  • in the first stage, everyone teaches exactly as they had been taught. In the second stage, instructors adjust their style based on other expert teachers they’ve borrowed ideas from
  • I realized the students’ ability to read music or not read music was ultimately the teacher’s fault

  • the students’ enthusiasm fuels two purposes: bravado and attention-seeking behavior.
  • Left uncorrected, this rowdy behavior can be a pain in a band director’s side.
  • One example of the use of fear would be my weekly summer camp challenges
  • The challenge could occur in any section of any piece and this was a very effective tool at getting me to practice
  • Over experience and time, after attending numerous workshops, reading about this subject, and conducting research, I’ve come to the conclusion that students can be pushed to learn out of desire rather than fear
  • calm classroom rather than a happy classroom
  • A calm classroom has a lot of structure in place: the procedures are practiced and understood, there are rules and consequences for inappropriate behavior, and students are aware that learning is often a messy business.
  • The secret to developing a mature attitude comes from a love of sharing music and teaching patience.
  • Students need to be reminded why they’re doing what they’re doing.
  • When we develop our procedures and rules for the year, I make it a deliberate point to explain why the items were deemed important.
  • Treat your students as young adults. Another way to think of it would be to treat them as you’d like to be treated

Musical Content: This website generates quizzes on note names and fingerings based on instrument. There is also a quiz dedicated to identifying the meaning of musical terminology. Other information: This resource has instrument selections for band and orchestra instruments, piano and recorder. Vocalists and other instrumentalists should select the instrument that is closest to theirs.

    Music Racer is a website that uses games to help reinforce music reading concepts. The purpose of the website is to reinforce musical terms, note names, and fingerings through the use of speed based games. There are multiple levels of difficulty and students can choose their instrument to personalize their game. The games are not customizable and students with at least a half year of experience would benefit most from this website. There is a top 50 leader board for each level of the different games that is based on the speed in which the game is completed. Teachers can use this website as a fun way to continue to reinforce fundamental music reading concepts.
  • ngredler on 27 May 17
     
    This website is an excellent tool for reinforcing note reading and fluency. Students can progress through three levels of identifying notes on a staff specific to their instrument. They can work to get faster times and eventually reach the top 50 list.

  • It is also important for students to practice with a model and without a model. I give them a model about 50 percent of the time. In the very beginning, when it’s only three or four notes, the rhythm is not usually a problem
  • Thumbs up means “I got it, let’s go.” Thumbs sideways means “Almost, I need another pass.” Thumbs down means “I’m lost!”

      This method works as feedback. I use them currently in my school.
  • Audiation is the musical voice inside your head, something like your musical imagination
  • Professional brass players use rebreather bags, incentive spirometers, and other tools to create an air model and to increase lung capacity
  • Children are used to taking conversational breaths; we need to teach them to breathe like musicians
  • For the inspiration I recommend using a breathing tube – basically a ½ to ¾-inch piece of PVC coupling
  • I use “sizzling” and “long tones.” Sizzling is great because you have the students create a natural resistance that simulates what it is like playing the horn
  • Long tones are very important to the development of a good sound

    Instrument Cleaning and Maintenance Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to keeping your student's instrument in proper working order. It is recommended to have your instrument inspected and serviced by a repair technician during the Christmas holiday and over the Summer break. The inspection may not result in any work being needed. However, just like an automobile it is recommended that a repair technician perform a tune-up as necessary to keep your instrument in proper working order.
