    This site is a great way to introduce the instruments of the orchestra.  It can be used individually to play the games or with the whole class to introduce instruments.  
  •  
    This is a great website to pair with the piece, "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" by Benjamin Britten. This interactive game describes all of the instruments in detail, offering relative outside information about each instrument. Students can play along either in a group setting or at home.
  •  
    A great resource for general music classes. Great guide to the orchestra for kids.
  •  
    This website is fantastic for students as individuals or as a full class activity! Step by step it takes them on a safari to learn about each instrument of the orchestra using Benjamin Britten's "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra". It is kid-friendly and would be great for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. It tests their listening skills using games deciphering things like notes in a sequence, or high and low.
  •  
    Incredible multimedia, interactive version of Benjamin Britten's famous work. Produced by The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall. Students log in or free play a safari adventure to save an orchestra. Instrument families are explored in detail with listening examples in a leveled gaming experience. Interdisciplinary connections to safari excursion, story telling, sound properties, animals and travel. Teachers can create an account to track student progress and/or assessment. Works well with an IWB.
  •  
    I found this site while discovering music technology for Module 5. This is a great interactive game for elementary age children who are or have studied instruments, instrument families, and the orchestra. It teaches the player new information, assesses their understanding of that information, and has opportunities for further study.
  •  
    This is an interactive way to explore and discover instruments of the orchestra. Students will locate and learn about instruments on a "safari type" adventure. This is great for younger students.
  •  
    I use this composition to discuss instruments and instrument families with 3rd grade. Unfortunately, I haven't found something to really engage the students. I think this website might actually intrigue students into learning about the instrument.s

  •  
    The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra allows students to learn all about the different instruments in the orchestra, as well as listening examples of classical pieces of music. The games provide a brief lesson, and then students can participate through interactive games. I find this site very informative and the kids love the story line that goes along with the game sequence. Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.
  •  
    Great site for teaching and learning about the instruments of the orchestra. It also has games students can interact with as a group or by themselves.
  •  
    This is a fun, interactive website that helps students get to know the instruments, the set up of a professional ensemble, different genres, and musical roles.
  •  
    This website is a game developed by Carnegie Hall that helps younger students learn the instruments of the orchestra. The game uses Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This interactive game helps students understand the layout of an orchestra, the ranges of the individual instruments, and how they sound individually and together in an ensemble. This is an excellent tool for elementary music!

WynnLiterature - Home - 0 views

  •  
    Wynn Literature is a site I found a few years ago as I was looking for music for my high school Intermediate Band to play for the Georgia Music Educators Association's Large Group Performance Evaluation (concert festival). The band I had one year was unprepared to play most Grade 4 Literature and I needed help choosing Grade 2 or 3 pieces. Wynn created this list of compositions that are on the GMEA LGPE required list. It is important to double check the most current LGPE list as the list is updated yearly. The compositions are written by composers whose works have been deemed to be "Contemporary Concert Band Standards" as they have the best mix of challenging the students as well as entertaining. Some of the composers include James Swearingen, Quincy Hilliard Robert W. Smith, David R. Holsinger, and James Curnow just to name a few. The site has changed a lot since I originally found it. You were able to click on the individual compositions to get more information about the piece such as key signature, meter, performance ranges for most of the instruments, technical issues that may occur (difficult rhythms or harmonies), background on the composer and historical perspective of the composition. Since the site's links do not work anymore, WynnLiterature is a great starting point to search for literature to play at the middle school level as well as the lower/developmental bands in high school.

Music's Power Explained | Psychology Today - 0 views

  • A meta-analysis of 400 music studies found that listening to music has the ability to reduce anxiety, fight depression and boost the immune system.
  • Participants were also evaluated on something known as the Music in Mood Regulation scale, or MMR. According to the MMR, the way individuals regulate their mood with music can be divided into seven categories: Entertainment, Revival, Strong Sensation, Mental Work, Solace, Diversion and Discharge.
  • The latter three categories (Solace, Diversion and Discharge) are all ways in which individuals can use music to regulate negative emotions.
  •  
    This article discusses the positive and negative impact music can have on a person's emotional state. The article mentions and describes three of the seven categories that individuals use to regulate their mood. It also discusses how music can impact the brain and its functioning abilities.

    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.

Technology and Music - 0 views

  •  
    There was a time when music techniques and sounds were somewhat unique to an individual or group. With the technology that exists today, it is almost impossible to keep anything a secret for long. Along with that technology, though, comes the opportunity to create virtually anything one sets one's mind to.
