100 Years of Rock Visualized - 0 views

  •  
    This 100 Years of Rock link contains a chronological display of how popular music has evolved.  It provides listening examples for dozens of American genres of music, from rock to country, blues, pop, and countless other sub-genres.  This link would make for interesting conversation with a History of Rock N' Roll class or classes about American music.  I especially enjoyed the listening examples because they give evidence to how much culture has influenced the different styles of American popular music.  I feel that students would very much enjoy this link because the listening examples cater to their interests, especially as the viewer scrolls toward the bottom of the page.

Pandora - Pressroom - Overview - 0 views

  •  
    Pandora can be used for my students to listen to songs the orchestra is presently learning or planning to learn in the future. This always comes in as an asset because of our rote style teaching method and performing from memory. If the basic melody, bass line and chord progression is familiar; it makes the music easier to learn.

    Some of the top music education blogs to provide instructional resources to music educators.
  •  
    The title says it all. This is a collection of music education blogs, covering all kinds of topics.
  •  
    The Music Education Blogs link contains links to blogs for all sorts of music educators.  The links are catered to specific school settings, teaching methodologies, ensembles, and free online services.  I enjoyed exploring several of the blogs because blogging is something I've just become acquainted to within my graduate studies with the University of Florida's Online Master of Music.  For example, I clicked on the "Elementary Blogs" tab to see what some of my elementary music educator colleagues have to say/share.  A handful of links to other teachers' blogs and websites were made available at a click of the mouse.  I clicked on the first link, "Mrs. Miracle's Music Room," and was able to read posts from "Mrs. Miracle" about her teaching strategies for classroom management when utilizing technology.  Her blog contained other features like a personal bio and links.  My blog for this course doesn't contain those things, and perhaps exploring the blogger.com website more would allow me to make similar changes to my Blog. Being able to share ideas within any online community, in this case a blogging community, could be so useful for any sort of educator.  Considering we are currently enrolled in an online Master of Music program, we are capable of sharing ideas from across the country and even across the globe.  This blog link just makes that possibility more accessible with more educators.

It's Not How Much; It's How: EBSCOhost - 1 views

  • Irrespective of the pedagogical implications of the more recent studies of practice behavior, making practice assignments in terms of time practiced instead of goals accomplished remains one of the most curious and stubbornly persistent traditions in music pedagogy
  • In fact, informal reviews of private teachers' instructions for practice reveal that teachers commonly assign only what to practice and how long to practice, with little attention given to specific proximal goals to be accomplished each day.
  • This is in stark contrast to assignments in many academic disciplines in school, where students are given sets of problems to solve, chapters to read, or essays to write, and the time devoted to homework is determined by the time required to complete the problems, read the chapters, or compose the essays. It seems readily accepted in other disciplines by teachers and students alike that all students will not devote the same amount of time to assignments, because individual learners work at different rates and different learners will not require the same amount of time to complete each assignment. How long one works depends on how long it takes to accomplish the assigned goals.

  • This seems an indication that the nature of the practice defined in our observations was more determinative of retention test performance than was the amount of practice.
  • Our results show that, among our sample of performers, the strategies employed during practice were more determinative of their retention test performances than was how much or how long they practiced.
  • Thus, it seems that the actions taken subsequent to the discovery of errors were major determinants of the effectiveness of practice.
  • The most effective way that the participants corrected errors was by making judicious changes in performance speed that facilitated the maintenance of accuracy following the correction of a given error.
  • These results point to the importance of developing in young musicians effective approaches to correcting errors — procedures that preclude errors' persistence.
  • There is no doubt that most students have heard their teachers demonstrate good playing, but it is probably also true that few have observed their teachers encountering performance problems and advantageously addressing them.

Free Piano Sheet Music - Beginner and Easy | MakingMusicFun.net - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great website that provides free sheet music for various instruments as well as music theory lessons. For private piano lessons, I search for classical and popular sheet music. There is sheet music for levels ranging from 1 (easy) to 5 (most advanced). The score arrangements appear to be suitable for beginners. The arrangements also make it an easy transition for when students are ready to learn to original scores.

How to Help Students with Special Needs in Music Class | Cued In - The J.W. Pepper Musi... - 0 views

  •  
    How to make accommodations for music students with special needs has always been a topic of conversation; however, as author Mary Rogelstad suggests, we have nothing to fear; among her list of recommended strategies for effective differentiation are items like teaching lessons that appeal to multiple senses and varying the speed of the content, or repertoire, to be learned and performed. As you can see, Rogelstad provides a sort of manual that helps us help our students to reach their maximum potential.

Online Practice Record - a music resource for practicing music more effectively. - 1 views

  •  
    Online Practice Record is a fantastic tool to aide performers of all levels with keeping a record of their practice. The program is easy to use and tracks practice time, music practiced, and questions or comments the user might have to refer to later. The records can be printed or emailed to others, which is an important feature for teachers. The teacher even has the option of entering comments directly into a practice record. 
  •  
    This site is great for teachers looking to motivate students to practice more consistently. Its purpose is to make practicing more interactive by providing a record of student practicing and the opportunity for teachers to view and comment on the student's practicing. The recourses include practice logs, comments by teachers, student-set goals, and the pieces practiced. This site is very student-directed in the sense that the students set their own practice goals and must be motivated to be more successful in their practicing in order to make progress in their record of practicing statistics. Although you do have to register to use this site, there is no charge and it allows teachers to provdie students with some guidance in their practicing.
  •  
    This is a website that students can use to track their daily practice habits. It tracks amount of time, what was practiced and all records can be printed off for students to analyze. The lesson teacher is also able to add comments on each post.
