    Improvisation games that can be used for icebreakers and teambuilding exercises. They are mostly non-musical, or at least they do not require musical instruments, only the voice. Could be a good introduction to musical improvisation unit.

Similarities Between Physical Therapy and Teaching Music - 0 views

  •  
    This blog compared similarities between physical therapy and teaching music. It was interesting to read the list of fifteen items which are shared between the two very different topics. The list started with hydrating and described the importance of drinking plenty of water after a strenuous exercise as well as when practicing music. My favorite parts are the article included the idea of practicing slower as well as practicing for shorter periods of times more often. I think those are great teaching tips to help our students improve. So often we as musicians and teachers just want to do everything in the fastest way possible. We also spend so much of our time staying busy with life that we seem to squeeze all of our practicing into one time rather than little by little.

‎Notes - Sight Reading Trainer on the App Store - 0 views

  •  
    This simple app is great for reading notation and having students identify notes on the staff. Difficulty levels range from three notes in one clef to over 20 notes using a grand staff with accidentals. Exercises can be done in as little as 30 seconds. I think any middle or high school musician would benefit from the use of this app as a simple reminder of how to recognize pitches notated on the staff.
