    The Music Tech Teacher site is an online extension of Karen Garrett's band and music technology class. On the site, she provides lessons, quizzes, and artifacts of student work. One nice feature is the scrolling set of images with students modeling the activities that take place in the piano lab.

    This is my favorite site for games that can be used as informal, formative assessments. There are many options under the "Quizzes/Pianos" tab. The games can be played as a class using the smartboard, or individually if you're lucky enough to get time in the computer lab.

    J.W. Pepper is a great resource for finding music for any traditional ensemble or instrument. Through the website, you can find music from various publishers, such as Hal Leonard or Boosey & Hawkes. When searching for music, it will bring up all available arrangements, as well as show the grade level of the work (with the exception of older, out-of-print music). There are also links and articles for other music resources.

    J.W. Pepper is the easiest site I've used when choosing and purchasing sheet music. It is very helpful that most of the pieces allow you to hear a performance of the music you want to buy and you are able to see the scores for the pieces, this has helped me determine if my groups can play the piece before I buy it. I can see if the range is too high for trumpets, if there are a lot of string crossings for violins, etc.

    J.W. Pepper is a website to access many types of music scores. Creating an account is very easy, and there is no annual fee. I find many pieces that work for my all my varying ability ensembles through this site because it offers various arrangements of the same work. I can sometimes find a piece in SATB and 2-part. Prices of music keep rising, but they have great customer service and shipping is usually quick. Many selections on the website are accompanied by a recording of the piece, but not always in the voicing selected.

    J.W. Pepper has stock music at any music educators hands. Users can simply use the search bar to search for a piece to purchase. If the user needs ideas, they can use the tabs to find hat they are looking for (choral, band, orchestra, general music).

UFMUE Masters Music Education Band Middle school Concert Festival Literature Georgia

  • justin41683 on 23 Sep 15
     
    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.

Playing Both Sides of the Horn: Approaching the Saxophone As a Classical and Jazz Instr... - 0 views

jazz classical instrument Saxophone music education

shared by lemason on 28 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • The saxophone is usually viewed by the wider public as a “jazz instrument,” thanks to nearly one hundred years of iconography associated with that art form
  • most in the music community now recognize that the instrument is capable of performing in any musical style, from contemporary classical to jazz to rock to pop to salsa, and so much more.
  • Instead of solely nurturing one style of saxophone playing, students should be encouraged to make use of all of the wonderful potentialities of the instrument, so that they can enjoy any possible form of music making throughout their lives.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A different mouthpiece and reed combination. The classical and commercial genres require different sounds, approaches to articulation, etc. While the performer mostly accomplishes this, a purpose-built, high-quality mouthpiece will make their lives easier
  • Many charlatans are lurking in the world, touting their instruments as “perfect for jazz” or “great for classical playing!” In truth, a quality saxophone is a quality saxophone, and all reputable brands are manufactured to allow for absolutely any type of playing. The student should simply be on the highest-quality instrument possible
  • two “pants pockets.” In one, a saxophonist keeps their classical skills, and in the other they keep their jazz skills. The two different styles shouldn’t mix, but they should both be handy for any given musical situation.
  • classical alto performance include the Selmer S-80 C*, the Selmer S-90 190, the Selmer Concept, or the Vandoren Optimum AL3. For jazz alto, the Meyer 5M, Vandoren V16 5M, Jody Jazz HR 5M, and the D’Addario Select 5M are all great choices.
  • As far as reeds go, it’s really up to the preference of the student. Some players use “classical” reeds and “jazz” reeds, while others use the same make on both setups. However, since classical and jazz mouthpieces are designed differently, the student will normally need to play reeds that are slightly lower in strength on their jazz mouthpiece.
  • teachers advocate different embouchures for jazz and classical playing, I am of the opinion that one can serve both purposes
  • One of the biggest differences between the performance of commercial and classical styles is articulation
  • Classical and jazz saxophone sounds are vastly different
  • how are students supposed to know what a great classical or jazz sound is? How are they supposed to learn about style? As always, the musician’s greatest tool is a busy set of ears.
  • Young saxophonists, from the first day, should have quality recordings available to them. With online video-sharing and streaming services, it is incredibly easy to give a student a list of names and let them start exploring for themselves

    This articles discusses myths of the saxophone being a jazz instrument rather than a classical instrument. It offers suggestions on instrument selection, mouthpieces, embouchure development and reed selection.

    This site provides several pieces that focus on certain musical performance skills. The resources are in the form of downloadable sheetmusic. This is a great site for honing in on one specific skill being taght at a time. Most teachers use method books in lesson, which are of course very beneficial but may not put enough emphasis on a specific musical concept. This site has music in several categoires including finger patterns, shifting, and rhythm to name a few. Some of the categories have downloadable curricula as well, making it a great guide for novice teacher or even experienced teachers looking for new materials to work with.

There are exercises for bowings, finger patterns, scales of varying difficulties, shifting, rhythm, and key signatures. This could be a great resource to push students from a beginner/intermediate level to being able to play advanced repertoire that involve complex rhythms, articulations and key areas. I would like to use this for upper middle school students to prepare them for high school instrumental programs.

      We used to do a game like this for theatre. I would love to use this as a beginning of the year activity for assessment, or a way to practice certain parts for a concert.

    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      I like the idea of using cue cards with simple rhythmic ostinatos to accompany a cd track. You could introduce the ostinatos before the activity and practice by switching between cards. Once the kids feel comfortable, play the song and use the cue cards.
  • Use rhythm flashcards to create a song that the students know well. Have the students clap and read the rhythms and see if they can figure out the mystery song.
    • cheyroseb
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19

  • Psychologists report that people who learned to play some musical instrument are smarter and have a better memory than people with no music training.

    This is an ear training game using a "matching card" format. It looks simple and almost boring, however, once a person starts playing the game it becomes very interesting, This is well suited for middle school as it does not appear to "babyish".
  • patiencetez on 10 Feb 19
     
    Note pair is an online music game designed to help children read music notes easily and quickly. This game helps children learn to read music notes step by step, at their own pace. A child listens to a note, and tries to match it to a similar note. This ear training computer game lets you learn music notes and their pitches. Students and pupils who play a musical instrument as a child have a better verbal memory than those with no music training. Aural listening skills enhance brain development and students who listen more to music are calm, critical thinkers, and confident. Introducing such a game as a lesson starter even for classes that are not learning music fosters concentration and interest of the learners. Their brain becomes alert and ready to take in any information.

    This website is suitable for teachers who give students free time to work on music games. Many different music topics are taught by the music teachers and a better way for students to retain the information would include turning some of their assignments into competition. One thing i have learned, elementary students love to be competitive, so if the students are able to get high scores on music games, then they are retaining and getting the information.

Decisions Made in the Practice Room: A Qualitative Study of Middle School S...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

web.a.ebscohost.com/...detail

Structured practice middle school

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • The quality and quantity with which one approaches practicing are key factors in the development of expert instrumental performance skill (Ericsson, Krampe, & Tesch-Romer, 1993). Miksza (2007), Frost and Hamann (2000), and McPherson (2000) have all found that instrumental performance is related to the quality as well as the quantity of practice.
  • McPherson and Zimmerman (2002) described self-regulation as a form of self-teaching in which students set goals, self-monitor, and self-reflect.
  • Self-efficacy, defined as the confidence one has in his or her ability to plan and execute a given task, is considered to be a key factor predicting self-regulation success
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Other researchers have found that novice adolescent musicians tend to exhibit inconsistent practice habits. Rohwer and Polk (2006) categorized the practice tendencies of students as holistic/noncorrective, holistic/corrective, analytic/reactive, or analytic/proactive. They described analytic practicers as those who were prone to remediate sections of their music both proactively and reactively, and they found that these students made significantly more gains than did the holistic practicers. Barry (1990, 1992) focused on the use of structured practice time and supervision in middle school instrumental students and found that the students were significantly more able to prepare a musical etude when practice was carefully structured and supervised. Like McPherson and Renwick (2001), Barry found that students who engaged in unstructured practice tended to play their music faster, use a metronome less, use fewer mental practice strategies, and self-assessed less than those who engaged in structured and supervised practice.
  • Barry and Hallam (2002) argue that this is because novices who have not yet developed strong aural schemata are often unaware of their own errors, whereas more capable musicians are more aware of their strengths and weaknesses.
  • The ability to self-regulate, or self-teach, is a learned skill requiring individuals to make a number of decisions related to goal setting, self-efficacy, attention, strategy use, and assessment.
  • In order for teachers to improve the way in which they teach their students to practice, it seems apparent that they must first understand the ways in which their students think during practice.
  • retrospective think aloud protocol. Ericsson and Simon (1993) describe this method of data collection as a process in which subjects are asked to describe their thoughts immediately after performing a given task.
  • Though they stated that they knew which pieces needed work, they did not have a specific idea of what aspects of the music needed work.
  • When students encountered difficulty, they reacted in one of three ways. First, although each student exhibited different levels of tolerance for frustration, at some point they each demonstrated the tendency to move on to a new activity when something began to cause frustration.
  • Second, students would retreat to easier passages when things became too difficult.
  • Finally, student ability to maintain focus over the span of the practice period also affected motivation.
  • Although the ability to maintain attention and self-efficacy may be beyond a teacher's realm of direct influence because of the unique personalities of the children, it appears that teachers can improve student motivation by providing students goals for improvement rather than simply recording practice time.
  • The ability to clearly define goals that are specific, proximal (short term), and moderately challenging is a major component of effective practice (
  • The factors influencing the use of practice strategies can be broken down into three categories: strategy repertoire, appropriate use, and motivation. Using the metaphor of having a "practice toolbox," students need to have a number of tools from which to draw on, but they also need the knowledge and skill to use them appropriately and the motivation and self-discipline to make the effort to take the tools out of the box.
  • Educational leaders commonly emphasize the importance of teaching students how to critically think and learn on their own. Musical practice is an important way in which music teachers can provide their students with these opportunities.
  • It seems to follow that helping instrumental music students develop self-regulation would result in improved ensembles and more efficient rehearsals. Methods for teaching practice skills to middle school and high school students must be developed through continued research and best practice in order to develop independent musicians.

The purpose of the website is to reinforce musical terms, note names, and fingerings through the use of speed based games. There are multiple levels of difficulty and students can choose their instrument to personalize their game. The games are not customizable and students with at least a half year of experience would benefit most from this website. There is a top 50 leader board for each level of the different games that is based on the speed in which the game is completed. Teachers can use this website as a fun way to continue to reinforce fundamental music reading concepts.

    Learn Jazz Standards is an online jazz resource for musicians. We specialize in helping musicians learn jazz repertoire and become better jazz players. The Learn Jazz Standards website has two main components: the Blog and our Jazz Standards.

    This is the hub for the Learn Jazz Standards podcasts and YouTube videos. This is a great resource for learning jazz theory, ear training and approaches to improvisation.

    The Learn Jazz Standards website contains a comprehensive list of jazz standards, including lead sheets (in different transposing keys), essential and/or original recordings, and a recording of a rhythm section playing through the chord changes several times (a la Jamey Abersold). Often, these "jazz minus one" rhythm section recordings are offered in a few different keys. The site also includes a blog, podcast, and a list of articles on the topic of jazz. This resource is especially helpful for melodic instrument jazz players, giving them practice with chord changes, and I use this site frequently in my jazz classes.

    A nice pdf of standard band repertoire. Sometimes it's hard to find what to play but with this handy organized list the director will have several ideas in no time!

    This website has a list of concert band pieces suitable for beginning concert bands.  This list is organized alphabetically by the composer's last name.  It provides the title of the piece, a brief description of the piece, the arranger, publisher, and difficulty level.

    This link goes directly to a twenty-eight page PDF of standard repertoire for bands. Not only does this list provide the title and composer, it also includes the publisher, arranger, technical difficulty, and musical level. Under each listing is a brief description of the piece and including key musical aspects that band directors should know about the work.

    This site highlights the newer releases for younger players.  It is very helpful in determining what pieces would be good to play for concerts and contests.  The descriptions are very detailed.

    Repertoire list for younger or developing band programs. There is a lot of grade 3-4 literature on this list which would be out of range for many middle schools, but should someone have a Jr. High situation or an advanced middle school band, this would be a tremendous resource.

    This PDF list of standard repertoire for intermediate bands includes composer, title, difficulty level, and description about the primary thematic and musical concepts of each piece.

    It is a good resource when choosing your middle school concert repertoire.

    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.
