    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.

    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 Infinite Jukebox - 0 views

  •  
    The Infinite Jukebox may come as somewhat of a revelation. For an introduction, readers may go to the site and click on a few of the popular tunes listed on the homepage. For instance, selecting Superstition by Stevie Wonder kicks off the 1972 hit in the way you've always heard it. But then The Infinite Jukebox takes over, matching beats and rhythmic patterns to create intelligent patterns for where the song can go next. No simple loop here. Instead the song plays for as long as the listener would like, but with seemingly infinite variety. Once users understand the basic principle, they can upload their own MP3s for free and let The Infinite Jukebox reorganize them into epic soundtracks for their working day.
  •  
    This quirky creation create an infinite musical loop from any song you select - and by infinite I mean never-ending. You can select a track from the site's vast library or upload a song of your own, which the site will analyze and use to create a pattern. This site could be beneficial for use with classical music to make easy background music.
  •  
    Pretty innovative program that remixes your favorite tunes so that you can listen to them over a long period of time! No need to use the "repeat" button anymore when you like a tune. It is INFINITE!

    Incredibox is a great website to explore musical creation and entertainment. Incredibox invites you to become the conductor of a group of human beatbox. You can share your compositions with others from all over. It's a really fun website that even students will enjoy using.
  •  
    Incredibox is a neat web-based app where seven loops at a time are available for students to use at a time. They may remove and add loops at any point, and there are unlocked special content available for certain combinations. This makes it seem like a game. Students can share their compositions, but unfortunately cannot download it without paying. Regardless, this is a fun activity where all the loops sound good-no matter what the combination.
  •  
    Students can arrange an acapella mix using different beat boxers and vocals. 
  •  
    I love this program.  Great for the kids on a snow day, or a day we cannot get in the band room, but can use the computer room.

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.
