Real Book Site - Jazz Music Education - 0 views

  • Jazz sheet music education, free (with no ads) for anyone who loves music. Hello, my name is Thayer and I studied music at Berklee back when the Real Book was "illegal". I thought the original version needed some representation on the 'net, so I came up with this PURELY EDUCATIONAL site.
  •  
    This site contains an audio example along with a viewable example of the lead sheet (in most cases). This is a fantastic resource for jazz students.
  •  
    The purpose of this website is to provide a list of free jazz sheet music in the keys of Bb, Eb, and bass clef from the "Real Book". The content lists songs from A to Z which provide an audio recording link for each without any ads. Students can use this site to play along with the sheet music and accompaniment provided. It would make a great practice tool in addition to method book material for students of all ages. The author of the site also promotes a "my music apps" page for beginner and experienced musicians.

    Article about the difference of school based music and music that students listen to out of the classroom. Music educators need to learn from this difference and use more contemporary music to interest more students.
  •  
    This is a great article about the disconnect between music we teach in school and the music our students listen to. This discusses ways to help make music meaningful for all students.
  •  
    This article discusses the "real" issue that classically trained music teachers face in trying to engage students in music; holding classical and/or jazz up as the "legitimate" forms of musical, or recognizing the value of the music that students listen to and enjoy in their daily lives.

    I really like the composer-related activities, especially when they related to recorder. I think that many times, students (and parents and classroom teachers) don't view the recorder as a real instrument. I think this is a great way to show them that they can play along with famous classical melodies.

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.

    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.

    This site has a real nifty guide/chart of Disney songs and a breakdown of the tempo(speed), range, meter and brief notes about the song.

    Band recruitment is the biggest event in the life of a band director.  This site features high quality tools to help make our lives easier. It also features famous people that have been band members.  Students need to relate to the bigger picture sometimes.  They need to see that big athletic stars can be in the band as well.  I am always looking for new perspective to recruitment.

    Very engaging and visually appealing website from the New York Philharmonic. Unfortunately many of the links would not work; however, one really cool feature is that there are recordings of symphony performances that can be viewed in a classroom. Much better quality of video than many available videos on YouTube.
