forScore 4 has been released! | Technology for the Classical Singer - 1 views

  •  
    Has anyone used this app? This looks like something even I would use - and I don't use our iPad much... The feature that I think would appeal to my underclass vocal majors is the ability to play along - so they can learn their music from listening rather than from reading (which some of them don't do well at all!).

Music lessons benefit the brain - YouTube - 0 views

    Here is a great video from CNN that highlights the benefits of being a part of a music program.  Many have done studies whether or not music affects a student's brain.  This is a great video to show students and parents along with administration to strengthen the program you already have.  Too many schools are doing away with the arts and it cannot happen!

    I really like the composer-related activities, especially when they related to recorder. I think that many times, students (and parents and classroom teachers) don't view the recorder as a real instrument. I think this is a great way to show them that they can play along with famous classical melodies.

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.

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".

    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.

    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.

Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.
