    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.

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.
