    This 100 Years of Rock link contains a chronological display of how popular music has evolved.  It provides listening examples for dozens of American genres of music, from rock to country, blues, pop, and countless other sub-genres.  This link would make for interesting conversation with a History of Rock N' Roll class or classes about American music.  I especially enjoyed the listening examples because they give evidence to how much culture has influenced the different styles of American popular music.  I feel that students would very much enjoy this link because the listening examples cater to their interests, especially as the viewer scrolls toward the bottom of the page.

    How to make accommodations for music students with special needs has always been a topic of conversation; however, as author Mary Rogelstad suggests, we have nothing to fear; among her list of recommended strategies for effective differentiation are items like teaching lessons that appeal to multiple senses and varying the speed of the content, or repertoire, to be learned and performed. As you can see, Rogelstad provides a sort of manual that helps us help our students to reach their maximum potential.

    This article provides ideas for small budget ensembles to make a dream of commissioning a new piece of music a reality. Commissioning music is a great way to get singers invested in music-making, yet the monetary restrictions can be huge. This article encourages the reader to not be afraid to reach out and see what opportunities are possible just from a simple conversation.

  • 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.

  • he First Principle of my Solfa choir workshops is to ‘Use the Ear to Train the Eye’: we
  • 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 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.

    This blog discuss ways teachers can help students understand material that they man not comprehend during a lesson. This is extremely helpful when your are not getting the necessary feedback from students.

    An article that discusses finer points in the "Art" of teaching; when students don't grasp a concept. Is it always the teachers fault? Can the student be doing anything differently to help on their end? This article has possible solutions!

Effective Practice: An Investigation of Observed Practice Behaviors, Self-R...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

Structured practice

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • Although it exists in the larger context of music practice in general, the concept of deliberate practice requires sustained concentration and effort and is therefore somewhat distinct from unstructured activities engaged in for the sake of playing for fun.
  • Deliberate practice encompasses effortful, goal-directed, and intentionally structured activities.
  • When taken together, the findings suggest that those who took a more strategic approach toward practicing (e.g., breaking parts down and putting them back into context, identifying difficult spots) also achieved the highest performance scores.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Although several lines of research (e.g., deliberate practice, mental practice, modeling, self-regulation) have begun to show links between general practicing approaches and achievement, relatively little is known about which specific behaviors are most effective in eliciting performance gains. Information regarding which behaviors are beneficial to school-age musicians is especially needed, given their often limited formal training and the scarcity of studies with this population. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among observed practice behaviors, self-reported practice habits, and the performance achievement of high school wind players.
  • In general, the results of this study have shown that the quality of practicing that takes place may be more crucial to improvement than the quantity of time spent playing.
  • The results also have practical implications for music educators. Although the findings cannot be considered causal, the correlations between performance achievement and the behaviors repeat section, slowing, whole-part-whole, and skipping directly to or just before critical musical sections of the étude indicate that these may be particularly useful strategies for making improvement.
  • It may be that those who were more accustomed to practicing with specific musical or technical goals in mind were able to practice more effectively during the study
  • This suggests that teachers should guide students toward practicing with musical and/or technical goals in mind.
  • This could be done by assigning specific musical passages to students or by asking students to practice applying specific musical concepts (dynamic contrasts, vibrato, expressive tempo manipulation, etc.) to various pieces when working alone.
  • This suggests students may need to be trained to distinguish between efficient and inefficient practicing.
  • For example, teachers could demonstrate characteristics of inefficient practicing, such as repetition of errors and physical and/or mental fatigue, and warn students to guard against them. Conversely, teachers could also highlight characteristics of efficient practice, such as focusing on problematic passages and taking appropriate amounts of rest.

  • 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.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 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!”

      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
