    The Sight Reading Factory link is one of the best sight-reading websites I have come across to date.  Within the free demo, I was able to access sight reading exercises for a number of band, instrumental, and vocal practice lessons.  In my personal exploration of the demo, I first looked into locating sight reading exercises for piano.  I was able to edit the time signature and key signature before seeing the practice exercises.  This feature is GREAT for people who are learning to play/count in different meters or using accidentals in their piano playing.  The same can be said for people learning to utilize solfedge in their singing, utilize new fingerings in their instrumental playing, or simply challenge themselves.  The website offers multiple difficulty levels, making the use of this website in a secondary music school setting ideal.  Sight reading exercises and study are some of the major contributors to my development as a musician and educator.  Since the exercises are generated on command, the site provides unlimited sight reading exercises to its users, making its longevity a strong selling-point.

    This is the best sightreading website I have encountered. A student is able to customize the exercises to his/her level of ability and it will create random sightreading excerpts. It is certainly a tool I always suggest to my students to invest in.

    Sight Reading Factory is a comprehensive online sight reading tool which provides on-demand computer-generated music examples which are customizable by instrument, playing level, length, key, and time signature. The service provides pre-programmed levels or can be fully customized by the user. Sight Reading Factory covers all major instruments (including voices and piano) and ensembles. Rhythm-only examples are also available. Once configured, the service provides unlimited, computer-generated sight reading examples based on the settings. Although randomly generated, the algorithm delivers rather authentic, musical selections. The user has two choices for participation: timed review period or free play. Settings can also be adjusted to toggle metronome click and cursor, as well as making measures disappear before or after playing.

    Sight Reading Factory is a great technology music-education tool. The site offers a short free trial, but the annual fee is very inexpensive. The technical support is great, and can problem solve quickly. Build sight-reading skills with the entire class, or create individual sight-reading assignments for students. Educators can generate custom sight-reading examples by easy selection of criteria. This site is worth the money and can be beneficial for student achievement in learning to read and sing musical notation.

    This site can be used for practicing sight reading. The possibilities of combinations of notes, short songs, and everything can be found here. I have even found that state all-state bands have used it to create their sight reading pieces for all state band. It does cost, but the price can be worth it even if just a teacher subscription is bought.

    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 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 resource is very beneficial for the improvement of sight-reading skills. Users can choose different levels, keys, time signatures, and specific rhythms to help develop sight-reading proficiency. This is a valuable resource for both classroom and private music educators
  • dluddy on 09 Feb 19
     
    The Sight Reading Factory generates excerpts of music based on parameters entered by the user. It is especially useful for practicing specific areas of music-reading skills (e.g. bass clef, odd-meters, difficult rhythms), or reinforcing general concepts of reading traditionally-notated music. While the site is good for the practice of mechanics, one might argue that robotically-created music is less useful for the development of musicality (or that computer-composed music isn't "music" at all). Excerpts can be generated for individuals singing or playing instruments, or for ensembles. There is also a section for solfege pattern practice. This resource creates sheet music excerpts for reading practice, without much regard to form or structure--it does not generate full works of literature for performance.

Effective Practice: An Investigation of Observed Practice Behaviors, Self-R...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

Structured practice

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • Although it exists in the larger context of music practice in general, the concept of deliberate practice requires sustained concentration and effort and is therefore somewhat distinct from unstructured activities engaged in for the sake of playing for fun.
  • Deliberate practice encompasses effortful, goal-directed, and intentionally structured activities.
  • When taken together, the findings suggest that those who took a more strategic approach toward practicing (e.g., breaking parts down and putting them back into context, identifying difficult spots) also achieved the highest performance scores.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Although several lines of research (e.g., deliberate practice, mental practice, modeling, self-regulation) have begun to show links between general practicing approaches and achievement, relatively little is known about which specific behaviors are most effective in eliciting performance gains. Information regarding which behaviors are beneficial to school-age musicians is especially needed, given their often limited formal training and the scarcity of studies with this population. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among observed practice behaviors, self-reported practice habits, and the performance achievement of high school wind players.
  • In general, the results of this study have shown that the quality of practicing that takes place may be more crucial to improvement than the quantity of time spent playing.
  • The results also have practical implications for music educators. Although the findings cannot be considered causal, the correlations between performance achievement and the behaviors repeat section, slowing, whole-part-whole, and skipping directly to or just before critical musical sections of the étude indicate that these may be particularly useful strategies for making improvement.
  • It may be that those who were more accustomed to practicing with specific musical or technical goals in mind were able to practice more effectively during the study
  • This suggests that teachers should guide students toward practicing with musical and/or technical goals in mind.
  • This could be done by assigning specific musical passages to students or by asking students to practice applying specific musical concepts (dynamic contrasts, vibrato, expressive tempo manipulation, etc.) to various pieces when working alone.
  • This suggests students may need to be trained to distinguish between efficient and inefficient practicing.
  • For example, teachers could demonstrate characteristics of inefficient practicing, such as repetition of errors and physical and/or mental fatigue, and warn students to guard against them. Conversely, teachers could also highlight characteristics of efficient practice, such as focusing on problematic passages and taking appropriate amounts of rest.
