    This website is fantastic for students as individuals or as a full class activity! 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". It is kid-friendly and would be great for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. It tests their listening skills using games deciphering things like notes in a sequence, or high and low.
  •  
    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. Interdisciplinary connections to safari excursion, story telling, sound properties, animals and travel. Teachers can create an account to track student progress and/or assessment. Works well with an IWB.

    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.

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.

    • cheyroseb
       
      Someone else's trial is my preparation
  • I said that we would be doing something kind of new in music the next few times we have class so I wanted to share with them about it today so that we could spend all of our time in centers the next two times. 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Builds anticipation :)
  • nstead of having all of the centers spread out around the perimeter of the room, which is where I put them when we were actually doing centers, I lined up all my centers at the front of the room under the board.

  • I emailed the list to their teacher and asked their teacher to line them up in that order (so the four students in group 1 are first, followed by group 2 and so on....) the next time they came to music.

      Very smart idea.
  • played" each center one or two turns
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good for preparation
  • On my computer, I had the zip file that contained all of the PDFs for each file pulled up so that as I was going through them with the whole group, if I wanted them to be able to see something better, I could show them the PDF version instead of the  tiny cards I was holding for some of the centers.

      Helps reinforce expectations for each center
  • they were all in the right order.
    • cheyroseb
       
      If the classroom teacher is aware of expectations, they can help support and enforce them
  • I had directions for each center posted at each center in case they forgot or were absent when we went over the centers, but there seemed to be no issues with students knowing what to do at each center.
    • cheyroseb
       
      An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure.
  • Do you have other ideas that I haven't thought of? Share below!
    • cheyroseb
       
      It would be good to have centers for each grade, or kits within center stations for each grade-- color coded
  • This is a really fun practice game for upper elementary and middle school! I also love this game for older beginners because it is an easy way to take those easy ta and titi rhythms and really make a more challenging game.
    • cheyroseb
       
      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.
  • This could be done as an ostinato pattern that is repeated, or you could rotate through a set of cards for the students to play.
    • cheyroseb
       
      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
       
      Would be awesome to use with 4/5th grade and disney songs.
  • Then students work to find the flashcards they need to match the rhythms of that song.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could have students work in teams for a prize.
  • I Have, Who Has game cards

    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.

Sight Read - Sight Reading Factory® - 0 views

  •  
    This resource is very beneficial for the improvement of sight-reading skills. Users can choose different levels, keys, time signatures, and specific rhythms to help develop sight-reading proficiency. This is a valuable resource for both classroom and private music educators
  •  
    The Sight Reading Factory generates excerpts of music based on parameters entered by the user. It is especially useful for practicing specific areas of music-reading skills (e.g. bass clef, odd-meters, difficult rhythms), or reinforcing general concepts of reading traditionally-notated music. While the site is good for the practice of mechanics, one might argue that robotically-created music is less useful for the development of musicality (or that computer-composed music isn't "music" at all). Excerpts can be generated for individuals singing or playing instruments, or for ensembles. There is also a section for solfege pattern practice. This resource creates sheet music excerpts for reading practice, without much regard to form or structure--it does not generate full works of literature for performance.
  •  
    This website offers specific melodies created to assist students in learning Sight Reading skills. Paying for a membership would be beneficial in order to fully use the website, but not necessary to access activities for classroom use.

      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!
