Bobby McFerrin: Watch me play ... the audience! | TED Talk - 0 views

  •  
    This is a clip with Bobby McFerrin, using the audience to sing. Bobby McFerrin improvises over the top as he creates the baseline for the audience to sing. He also mentions that the pentatonic scale is understood by all of his audiences no matter where he goes. This can be an interesting way to introduce a pentatonic scale to students, or improvising in a pentatonic scale. This is part of a larger TED talk entitled "Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus"
  •  
    This TED Talk informs students about the natural connection humans have with music. Bobby McFerrin describes the nature of the pentatonic scale. This is a resource I like to introduce when first learning about the pentatonic scale. This shows students that music and nature are connected. I also use this for my students when I talk about the Fibonacci sequence with my math and music unit.

      Excellent site.  Clear explanations of musical terms and processes for self-directed learning by approx. 3rd grade and older, and for younger children along with their parents (musically-trained or not) or teachers. Very friendly and accessible interface.
  •  
    The graphics on this website are amazing- any child would enjoy browsing through and learning about musical instruments, composition, and composers. Also very neat is the game where you can "play" different musical instruments. The numbers on the computer keypad become notes in a scale!

"I don't get it!" Helping those who can't help themselves - musically. « Musi... - 0 views

  • 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.

  • 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&nbsp;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.

    Admittedly, I'm a total geek for the "old classics", but I find this website absolutely amazing! In about 3 minutes time I was able to locate about a half dozen pieces that I've been looking for at some point or another since I started teaching. I think there are resources that every band director could use here.

    BandMusic PDF Library preserves and shares band music from the Golden Age of the American Town Band. If you are looking for public domain music to play with your school band, community band or other group, you'll find it here-marches, waltzes, rags, theater music, cornet solos, trombone features, and much more.

    Purpose of this resource: The purpose of this resource is to provide access to wind ensemble and concert band repertoire in the public domain. Musical Content: This webpage contains thousands of works for concert band and wind ensemble. Works are categorized by graded difficulty, and contain full scores and parts. Other information: This is great resource for school music programs with limited budgets for purchasing music. It is also a good source for finding music that is not published any longer.

    Public Domain town band music library. Would be great for so many things - especially playing marches at MPA that aren't overdone.
  •  
    This is another invaluable resource of Public Domain compositions for the Band World. So many of the old marches and waltzes are out of print and difficult to come by, but this website has an extensive list of great works that are all public domain. A great resource not only for finding pieces to play, but also for doing some traditional score study.
