    This is a great website to pair with the piece, "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" by Benjamin Britten. This interactive game describes all of the instruments in detail, offering relative outside information about each instrument. Students can play along either in a group setting or at home.

    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.

    I found this site while discovering music technology for Module 5. This is a great interactive game for elementary age children who are or have studied instruments, instrument families, and the orchestra. It teaches the player new information, assesses their understanding of that information, and has opportunities for further study.

    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. The games provide a brief lesson, and then students can participate through interactive games. I find this site very informative and the kids love the story line that goes along with the game sequence. Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.

    This website is a game developed by Carnegie Hall that helps younger students learn the instruments of the orchestra. The game uses Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This interactive game helps students understand the layout of an orchestra, the ranges of the individual instruments, and how they sound individually and together in an ensemble. This is an excellent tool for elementary music!

Playing Both Sides of the Horn: Approaching the Saxophone As a Classical and Jazz Instr... - 0 views

jazz classical instrument Saxophone music education

shared by lemason on 28 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • The saxophone is usually viewed by the wider public as a “jazz instrument,” thanks to nearly one hundred years of iconography associated with that art form
  • most in the music community now recognize that the instrument is capable of performing in any musical style, from contemporary classical to jazz to rock to pop to salsa, and so much more.
  • Instead of solely nurturing one style of saxophone playing, students should be encouraged to make use of all of the wonderful potentialities of the instrument, so that they can enjoy any possible form of music making throughout their lives.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A different mouthpiece and reed combination. The classical and commercial genres require different sounds, approaches to articulation, etc. While the performer mostly accomplishes this, a purpose-built, high-quality mouthpiece will make their lives easier
  • Many charlatans are lurking in the world, touting their instruments as “perfect for jazz” or “great for classical playing!” In truth, a quality saxophone is a quality saxophone, and all reputable brands are manufactured to allow for absolutely any type of playing. The student should simply be on the highest-quality instrument possible
  • two “pants pockets.” In one, a saxophonist keeps their classical skills, and in the other they keep their jazz skills. The two different styles shouldn’t mix, but they should both be handy for any given musical situation.
  • classical alto performance include the Selmer S-80 C*, the Selmer S-90 190, the Selmer Concept, or the Vandoren Optimum AL3. For jazz alto, the Meyer 5M, Vandoren V16 5M, Jody Jazz HR 5M, and the D’Addario Select 5M are all great choices.
  • As far as reeds go, it’s really up to the preference of the student. Some players use “classical” reeds and “jazz” reeds, while others use the same make on both setups. However, since classical and jazz mouthpieces are designed differently, the student will normally need to play reeds that are slightly lower in strength on their jazz mouthpiece.
  • teachers advocate different embouchures for jazz and classical playing, I am of the opinion that one can serve both purposes
  • One of the biggest differences between the performance of commercial and classical styles is articulation
  • Classical and jazz saxophone sounds are vastly different
  • how are students supposed to know what a great classical or jazz sound is? How are they supposed to learn about style? As always, the musician’s greatest tool is a busy set of ears.
  • Young saxophonists, from the first day, should have quality recordings available to them. With online video-sharing and streaming services, it is incredibly easy to give a student a list of names and let them start exploring for themselves

    This articles discusses myths of the saxophone being a jazz instrument rather than a classical instrument. It offers suggestions on instrument selection, mouthpieces, embouchure development and reed selection.

    Music Racer is a website that uses games to help reinforce music reading concepts. The purpose of the website is to reinforce musical terms, note names, and fingerings through the use of speed based games. There are multiple levels of difficulty and students can choose their instrument to personalize their game. The games are not customizable and students with at least a half year of experience would benefit most from this website. There is a top 50 leader board for each level of the different games that is based on the speed in which the game is completed. Teachers can use this website as a fun way to continue to reinforce fundamental music reading concepts.

    This is a fun listening game in the form of Tetris. This game is designed to enhance the audiation skills in students by helping them identify instruments based on their unique sounds. There are three levels of difficulty for students to play. Each instrument that descends is accompanied by its innate musical sound. In the first level, students must match instruments according to their family. In the second level, students must match instruments with identical instruments. On the third level, the most challenging level, students must match instruments with identical instruments, but the icon of each instrument is blacked out. In other words, students must rely solely on their ears to hear and categorize each instrument's unique sound.

    Instrument Cleaning and Maintenance Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to keeping your student's instrument in proper working order. It is recommended to have your instrument inspected and serviced by a repair technician during the Christmas holiday and over the Summer break. The inspection may not result in any work being needed. However, just like an automobile it is recommended that a repair technician perform a tune-up as necessary to keep your instrument in proper working order.

    This is absolutely ridiculous. If your instrument has elephant ivory, even the tiniest bit, and it was made after the 1976 agreement regarding import of elephant ivory, it is considered contraband - and the government can take it from you - when you travel. The silliest part is that many people are misinformed about the use of ivory in musical instruments. Piano keys - "those ivories" - those are made from seal ivory, not elephant ivory. I wonder how much ivory used in other instruments is elephant ivory.

It categorizes instruments by family and gives a brief description of each with a sound clip. There are strings, percussion, woodwinds, and brass. The woodwind section is missing tenor and bari sax, and the brass section is missing euphonium but otherwise it is quite complete. I usually show this while having the actual instrument out.

    The Sight Reading Factory link is one of the best sight-reading websites I have come across to date.  Within the free demo, I was able to access sight reading exercises for a number of band, instrumental, and vocal practice lessons.  In my personal exploration of the demo, I first looked into locating sight reading exercises for piano.  I was able to edit the time signature and key signature before seeing the practice exercises.  This feature is GREAT for people who are learning to play/count in different meters or using accidentals in their piano playing.  The same can be said for people learning to utilize solfedge in their singing, utilize new fingerings in their instrumental playing, or simply challenge themselves.  The website offers multiple difficulty levels, making the use of this website in a secondary music school setting ideal.  Sight reading exercises and study are some of the major contributors to my development as a musician and educator.  Since the exercises are generated on command, the site provides unlimited sight reading exercises to its users, making its longevity a strong selling-point.

    Sight Reading Factory provides unlimited number of exercises for sight reading/singing to students. This program provides exercises based on instrumentation and other needs/skill levels to accommodate all levels. It also works as a great assessment tool by tracking what and how the student sight reads in real time.

    This site offers customize-able sight-reading examples that are composed in real time in a variety of combinations. It may be used by the music teacher in whole group setting in the classroom, or student accounts may be purchased for use with at-home practice and assessment. The annual fee is reasonable.

    This is the best sightreading website I have encountered. A student is able to customize the exercises to his/her level of ability and it will create random sightreading excerpts. It is certainly a tool I always suggest to my students to invest in.

    Sight Reading Factory is a comprehensive online sight reading tool which provides on-demand computer-generated music examples which are customizable by instrument, playing level, length, key, and time signature. The service provides pre-programmed levels or can be fully customized by the user. Sight Reading Factory covers all major instruments (including voices and piano) and ensembles. Rhythm-only examples are also available. Once configured, the service provides unlimited, computer-generated sight reading examples based on the settings. Although randomly generated, the algorithm delivers rather authentic, musical selections. The user has two choices for participation: timed review period or free play. Settings can also be adjusted to toggle metronome click and cursor, as well as making measures disappear before or after playing.

    Unlimited sight reading exercises for every instrument and ensemble. Music teachers can customize exercises for the skill level of their students and print each exercise if needed.

    Sight Reading Factory is a great technology music-education tool. The site offers a short free trial, but the annual fee is very inexpensive. The technical support is great, and can problem solve quickly. Build sight-reading skills with the entire class, or create individual sight-reading assignments for students. Educators can generate custom sight-reading examples by easy selection of criteria. This site is worth the money and can be beneficial for student achievement in learning to read and sing musical notation.

    This site can be used for practicing sight reading. The possibilities of combinations of notes, short songs, and everything can be found here. I have even found that state all-state bands have used it to create their sight reading pieces for all state band. It does cost, but the price can be worth it even if just a teacher subscription is bought.

    I use this resource when students are unable to participate in a performance or other activity. They are given the directions from this website (as well as others) to create their own instruments!

    This is the kids' section of the New York Philharmonic. It has very informative pages about instruments and composers. It also has games for composition, and musical puzzles. You do need to download shockwave to view the content, but it's worth it.

    This website is great for elementary students to reinforce the instruments and instrument families found in the orchestra. Students can listen to the sound of each instrument and watch short videos. There are great games and assessments for students to use, I highly recommend the Orchestration Station.

    For any of educators brave enough to tackle homeade instruments in class, this site is great for step-by-step instructions on how to do so. Here, you can find 8 homeade instruments to create with your music students. The istructions are fairy simple to follow. I attempted this once while making homeade maracas with foil paper and rice. The instruments were fun, but the project was very messy. Perhaps, I can give it a shot again using these simpler techniques!
