    A cloud-based DAW, free and easy to use. It is very similar to GarageBand, and users with little music knowledge can easily create quality compositions by dragging and dropping loops. Users can compose music, record live instruments and voice tracks, use MIDI controllers, and export projects to many known file types.

    Great free DAW to help give students a chance to explore loop software. This is a simple and easy access for students instead of needing them to use GarageBand or Mixcraft on a limited amount of computers. The possibility of having an account and working from anywhere is a big plus for using this DAW

    Creating music using loops, but also using midi files and digital audio too. Long term type of project for students. Students have more creative freedom than other loop-based software.

    The purpose of this resource is to help students with ear training for interval recognition using familiar tunes. The musical content is in the form of links to YouTube clips that demonstrate different intervals. This source is valuable for teachers because it builds on what students know (the familiar tunes) and provides immediate links for patterns of intervals both ascending and descending. It also allows you to select only the examples you want to use and print them out on their own chart. It also provides tutorials and music facts about theory and technology. Like many other software programs, it offers a free trial, making it more marketable and appealing to teachers and students alike.

    This website will generate a list of intervals with related songs to learn the intervals. By picking the song of your choice, you can build a custom list to meet your students' interests. The list is printable and can be distributed to your students.

    This website features free access to musical excerpts of famous songs and melodies to illustrate examples of musical intervals. Each excerpt is a link to a video on YouTube. You can create your own song chart of favorite pieces to use as an example of each interval in ascending or descending patterns. Music educators would find these examples very useful for classroom instruction. The Earmaster company also offers ear training materials for purchase including over 2000 exercises for musicians of all ability levels. Free trials are available and it is advertised that music schools and universities use these products.

    EarMaster organizes an ample amount of repertoire for learning specific intervals. The music examples are categorized by ascending and descending intervals of minor/major 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, perfect 4th, 5th, octaves, and tritones. The youtube examples will start immediately where the specified interval can be heard. Students can choose to memorize any examples listed to help them remember the sound of specific intervals.

    This site offers a service that one wishes they had until they realize it exists. Essentially, if offers lists of songs that can be used to teach intervals. For many choirs - both middle and high school - the majority of students have not had proper ear training. A fun and effective way to do this remedially is to use familiar or easy to sing songs that students can reference to develop their ears. This site puts many song titles in one place to help facilitate that.

    This website allows teachers to find songs that are associated with particular intervals. There is a free version but the paid (2.99/month) has more features. This software basically generates a chart with a list of songs for each interval and can be used as an excellent ear training activity!

    Interval Song Chart Generator is a listing of intervals and includes various songs which represent the interval. Simply select a song for each descending and ascending interval. Videos accompany the example, however, you can easily make it into an aural example. Once you select your song choices, then you can generate your own list and print it out. You can even submit your own songs to the forum. This is a very useful resource for ear training and specifically helpful for choirs.

  • This is good of course, in that it means that music can take flight easily in those who have an ear for it and they can move on quickly to the joy of music-making, both on their own and with others. But this same skill can become a disadvantage when those same students want to move into more complicated repertoire or advanced improvisational music-making. Here, their lack of foundation in the theoretical language of music will impede their progress, and it will be frustrating for already advanced players to stop and ‘go back to the beginning’ to pick up the language and basic theoretical concepts they need in order to move forward with their playing.
  • nd it’s also why it is so important to teach instrumentalists to sing the melodies they play as part of their learning process. This connects their physical response at the instrument and their technical understanding to their innately human ability to express themselves with their singing voice.
  • eep theoretical ideas tied very tightly to some kind of practical knowledge.

  • he First Principle of my Solfa choir workshops is to ‘Use the Ear to Train the Eye’: we
  • never separate the look of something on the page or on the blackboard from the sound of something they already know how to do.
  • After this happens, I then am very strict in applying the Second Principle of my Solfa choir workshops: ‘Stop While You Are Ahead’.
  • Adding one more concept on top of this one – for example modulation to the relative minor, or even to the (!warning!) so-called ‘flat keys’ can immediately burst the delicate bubble of achievement and understanding.
  • Third Principal: ‘Be Kind, but Apply the Second Principle’. While it can be difficult to curb my own enthusiasm for my subject and my happiness at having conveyed something that leads to interesting questions, I do try to restrict myself to giving only very brief answers to further theoretical questions before closing these conversations and moving on to something else that is practical and that I know my students can do.

    This is another Orchestra-sponsored website with fun activities for kids. It can be used during spare time, or units could be developed around it. The game I found which I liked in particular is called "Beethoven's Baseball". You get to pick your composer team, and then click on Beethoven to throw the "pitches", which are questions. The game keeps your score and is interactive. The website also has a "listen by composer" section, as well as other instructions for activities including making your own instrument.

    New Horizons is a network of music education programs for adults. New Horizons advocates for participatory music opportunities for adults who either had little or no music education in their younger years or have had little connection to music making since their school years. New Horizons groups are independently run organizations in the United States and many foreign countries. The first New Horizons group was started by Dr. Roy Ernst at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester.

    This is a web-based software which is free with the option to upgrade. It is similar to GarageBand, but is great because it doesn't require a specific type of computer to use. To use, one simply drags in the loops and MIDI tracks to create their own songs. The free version has its limitations, but can still create some amazing tracks for the classroom.

  • 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

    SmartMusic has interactive, web-based editions of many popular instrumental, band, chorus, and orchestra method books, as well as a massive collection of sheet music. Students can listen, loop, record and submit pieces they are working on. A neat feature of SmartMusic is that students can click on a single note and hear how it is supposed to sound, and how to finger that note on their instrument. Students can adjust tempo, play with a metronome, use a tuner to check pitch, and more. A paid subscription allows teachers to create online classrooms for assigning and assessing work, and have access to the entire SmartMusic catalog.

Teachers can also assess students outside the school wall. Smart music is good for rehearsals because a student can rehearse at home when the teacher is listening in and correcting him/her from anywhere else. It is easy to access and a good resource for music classes.

  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.

      Make lesson plan around this later.
  • Fixed Do ( used in a lot of the European countries ) where they actually use the sol-fa note names to identify notes rather than letter names (C-D-E etc.)  So this means the note names remain the same regardless of the key that is being played.
    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      An old professor told me fixed Do was helpful for producing musicians with perfect pitch, however that is not my goal when teaching solfege.
  • Movable Do  where Do is always the tonic. For example, in C major, C is do; in D major, D is do; in E-flat minor, E-flat is do, and so on. And the sol-fa syllables always stay the same when going from one key to the next regardless if there are sharps or flats.
    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      Moveable Do is helpful for sight-reading and pitch relation within scales.
  • The moveable method gets too complex for younger children, so I tend to use the fixed Do method, but just wanted to clarify the difference here.
    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      Could put every song in the same key for a while before explaining moveable do.

    Chuck Vanderchuck is a fantastic resource for teaching students about different genres found in music (not just classical!). Kids love the different sounds that genre-based instruments make, fun catch phrases that Chuck repeats throughout the site, and different historical facts about how each genre originated. Students are invited to move to music, arrange their own combos with different instruments, and engage in memory games to help them learn the content provided.
