Virtual Piano Online | Apronus.com - 0 views

  •  
    Apronus Piano is an online piano that works on both touchscreens and with piano keyboards. As opposed to some online keyboard that play C when you press the letter C, D when you press the letter D, it uses the keyboard as close to a piano as possible. The second row of keys corresponds to the white keys on the piano and the number row corresponds to the black keys as they occur (with one or two exceptions). The bottom two rows can be used to play chords. The range of the keyboard can be adjusted to hear different notes. This online piano can be used as extra practice for general music or piano students or as a substitution for a real piano if keyboards are not available but computers are available. It could also be used in conjunction with composition assignments or for choral students to practice vocal lines.

WynnLiterature - Home - 0 views

  •  
    Wynn Literature is a site I found a few years ago as I was looking for music for my high school Intermediate Band to play for the Georgia Music Educators Association's Large Group Performance Evaluation (concert festival). The band I had one year was unprepared to play most Grade 4 Literature and I needed help choosing Grade 2 or 3 pieces. Wynn created this list of compositions that are on the GMEA LGPE required list. It is important to double check the most current LGPE list as the list is updated yearly. The compositions are written by composers whose works have been deemed to be "Contemporary Concert Band Standards" as they have the best mix of challenging the students as well as entertaining. Some of the composers include James Swearingen, Quincy Hilliard Robert W. Smith, David R. Holsinger, and James Curnow just to name a few. The site has changed a lot since I originally found it. You were able to click on the individual compositions to get more information about the piece such as key signature, meter, performance ranges for most of the instruments, technical issues that may occur (difficult rhythms or harmonies), background on the composer and historical perspective of the composition. Since the site's links do not work anymore, WynnLiterature is a great starting point to search for literature to play at the middle school level as well as the lower/developmental bands in high school.

Introducing Do Re Mi - Fun Music Theory - 0 views

  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.

      Good to think about when building elementary curriculum and lessons.
  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
  • Start by teaching your little one So-Mi, which in the scale of C is G and E and sounds like “cuckoo” or “see-saw.”

  • When So and Mi are familiar, you can introduce La (A).
    • cheyroseb
       
      Good to have a step-by-step (pun intended) for introducing little ones to solfedge.
  • Next you can introduce both Dos, high Do and low Do or bottom C and top C.
    • cheyroseb
       
      step 3
  • A very good song for teaching both Dos is The Balloon Song, which can be sung with real balloons and is always very popular! 
    • cheyroseb
       
      Make lesson plan around this later.
  • Fixed Do ( used in a lot of the European countries ) where they actually use the sol-fa note names to identify notes rather than letter names (C-D-E etc.)  So this means the note names remain the same regardless of the key that is being played.
    • cheyroseb
       
      An old professor told me fixed Do was helpful for producing musicians with perfect pitch, however that is not my goal when teaching solfege.
  • Movable Do  where Do is always the tonic. For example, in C major, C is do; in D major, D is do; in E-flat minor, E-flat is do, and so on. And the sol-fa syllables always stay the same when going from one key to the next regardless if there are sharps or flats.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Moveable Do is helpful for sight-reading and pitch relation within scales.
  • The moveable method gets too complex for younger children, so I tend to use the fixed Do method, but just wanted to clarify the difference here.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could put every song in the same key for a while before explaining moveable do.
  •  
    A helpful guide for integrating and teaching solfege in the elementary school music classroom.

Musicians: Your Instrument Could Be Contraband, Subject To Immediate Seizure - hypebot - 0 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this! I have to figure out how to travel to Bolivia in a couple weeks with my baroque bow, which has an ivory frog.
