Banddirector.com - The #1 Online Resource for Band Directors! - 0 views

  • The worlds' finest musicians achieve memorable performances such as these by making a choice lesser musicians will not endure: they choose to listen. To really listen.
  • Is fine intonation really a skill limited to those fortunate few born with a natural aptitude for pitch awareness?
  • self motivation is the key to personal excellence. But the role of the teacher is to teach!
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • First, the player must be aware of and be able to correct pitch discrepancy. The second step is to become aware of the intonation challenges of their own particular instrument. Finally, the player must be able to hear their pitch in relation to the various timbre and octaves in the ensemble.
  • fine intonation is not optional. It is the "grail" to be pursued with almost religious zeal.
  • The heart and the body agree with the ear when the pitch is right.
  • The skill that must be taught (and can be taught!) is that of awareness of pitch discrepancy, or "the beats". This is an aural skill

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.
