    StringSkills.com is a place for teachers to be able to look up different finger patterns for all four instruments. There are sheets for shifting to help the student to become fluent and relaxed while shifting and playing in different positions. There are also rhythm, one to two octave scales and sight reading. Each of these have a free download of work sheets that teacher and students can access online to work on in class or practice at home.

    This site provides several pieces that focus on certain musical performance skills. The resources are in the form of downloadable sheetmusic. This is a great site for honing in on one specific skill being taght at a time. Most teachers use method books in lesson, which are of course very beneficial but may not put enough emphasis on a specific musical concept. This site has music in several categoires including finger patterns, shifting, and rhythm to name a few. Some of the categories have downloadable curricula as well, making it a great guide for novice teacher or even experienced teachers looking for new materials to work with.

    StringSkills.com is an excellent free resource for string teaching materials. Compiled by Gabriel Villasurda, this site contains fingering charts/suggestions, rhythmic practices (and crazy tunes to help reinforce the learning) as well as bowing techniques, scales and shifting. There are even challenge pieces to be played on one string. Definitely worthwhile for string teachers.
  • kristineyang3 on 28 May 17
     
    This website has free, downloadable exercises that address many string techniques. There are exercises for bowings, finger patterns, scales of varying difficulties, shifting, rhythm, and key signatures. This could be a great resource to push students from a beginner/intermediate level to being able to play advanced repertoire that involve complex rhythms, articulations and key areas. I would like to use this for upper middle school students to prepare them for high school instrumental programs.

    The purpose of this resource is to help students with ear training for interval recognition using familiar tunes. The musical content is in the form of links to YouTube clips that demonstrate different intervals. This source is valuable for teachers because it builds on what students know (the familiar tunes) and provides immediate links for patterns of intervals both ascending and descending. It also allows you to select only the examples you want to use and print them out on their own chart. It also provides tutorials and music facts about theory and technology. Like many other software programs, it offers a free trial, making it more marketable and appealing to teachers and students alike.
  • Michael Dove on 27 May 17
     
    This website will generate a list of intervals with related songs to learn the intervals. By picking the song of your choice, you can build a custom list to meet your students' interests. The list is printable and can be distributed to your students.

    A helpful site for students who are working on learning and mastering their intervals. Provides a great list of songs that you can associate the intervals with to help remember them.
  • anonymous on 07 Jun 17
     
    This website features free access to musical excerpts of famous songs and melodies to illustrate examples of musical intervals. Each excerpt is a link to a video on YouTube. You can create your own song chart of favorite pieces to use as an example of each interval in ascending or descending patterns. Music educators would find these examples very useful for classroom instruction. The Earmaster company also offers ear training materials for purchase including over 2000 exercises for musicians of all ability levels. Free trials are available and it is advertised that music schools and universities use these products.
  • lucymos on 28 Jun 17
     
    Great resource for music teachers to teach intervals. It is a list of popular songs and pieces that utilize specific intervals, and includes links to the audio or youtube examples.
  • lalario on 09 Feb 19
     
    EarMaster organizes an ample amount of repertoire for learning specific intervals. The music examples are categorized by ascending and descending intervals of minor/major 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, perfect 4th, 5th, octaves, and tritones. The youtube examples will start immediately where the specified interval can be heard. Students can choose to memorize any examples listed to help them remember the sound of specific intervals.
  • cbaker91 on 09 Feb 19
     
    This site offers a service that one wishes they had until they realize it exists. Essentially, if offers lists of songs that can be used to teach intervals. For many choirs - both middle and high school - the majority of students have not had proper ear training. A fun and effective way to do this remedially is to use familiar or easy to sing songs that students can reference to develop their ears. This site puts many song titles in one place to help facilitate that.
  • lcm09c on 10 Feb 19
     
    This website allows teachers to find songs that are associated with particular intervals. There is a free version but the paid (2.99/month) has more features. This software basically generates a chart with a list of songs for each interval and can be used as an excellent ear training activity!

    Interval Song Chart Generator is a listing of intervals and includes various songs which represent the interval. Simply select a song for each descending and ascending interval. Videos accompany the example, however, you can easily make it into an aural example. Once you select your song choices, then you can generate your own list and print it out. You can even submit your own songs to the forum. This is a very useful resource for ear training and specifically helpful for choirs.

      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

      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.

      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
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      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
      cheyroseb on 14 Feb 19
       
      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.

Students could submit a song request and the teacher could preview ahead of time the appropriateness of discussing it's history.
