      As a composer and arranger I often find that I often have ideas at inconvenient times - driving, some place where staff paper is not available.  This would seem to offer a quick way to record the idea and preserve that moment of inspiration for later development.

Artistic to the Core: Music and Common Core | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Our Common Core Standards exist to support students' future success -- namely, college and career readiness.
  • I feel confident asserting that creativity and problem-solving skills acquired through arts training have prepared my students uniquely for their future success
  • These are the two biggest mental blocks I see: I am not a musician/singer/artist myself, so I do not feel comfortable with the art forms. There is no instructional time available to do anything "extra."
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Teachers must think on their feet, modify plans on the spot, approach content from different angles, support uniqueness, and inspire and foster growth.
  • Think of teaching standards through the arts, not independently of the arts
  • Holding onto misconceptions might prevent you from unlocking your students' creativity, originality and spark for learning
  • Start with a standard or concept you need to address. Ask yourself the following questions, and jot down all ideas you can. Your creative brainstorming will take your students beyond worksheets and unlock your creativity as a teacher and your students' enjoyment of the learning process.

    This is an interesting read that was linked on Dr. Bauer's resources discussing the connections of arts and common core standards.

  • Breaking it down allows you to make kids comfortable, give them confidence, and, most importantly, not practice mistakes.
  • intellectualizing, listening, and blowing
  • Intellectualizing means thoroughly understanding the constructs of music –rhythmically, melodically, idiomatically, and tonally – before attempting the final product.

  • 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!” &nbsp;

      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

Jazz | Music 101 | Ken Burns - 0 views

  • "Composition is slowed down improvisation," and both disciplines deal with the same challenge — how to organize and present ideas in a coherent fashion.
  • One of the most common misconceptions about jazz is that it is spun out of the air in a totally impromptu manner. This notion exists because many small jazz groups do not read music when they play. The truth of the matter is that what those musicians are actually doing is spontaneously creating a very sophisticated form of theme and variations
  • The framework is flexible so that the soloists may shorten or lengthen their improvisations depending on the inspiration of the moment. The other players, then, have a responsibility to react to what has preceded them

      Creativity in music research offers a great deal of insight on this idea in improvisation that can be applied to more idioms than jazz.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • To many, composed music and improvised music seem to be opposites, but in jazz, they merge in a unique fashion.
  • But improvisation is not the be all and end all of jazz. Composers such as Duke Ellington and Eddie Sauter wrote, on occasion, jazz compositions practically devoid of improvisation. But the real challenge comes when a composer integrates improvisation into a
