UFMUE Masters Music Education Band Middle school Concert Festival Literature Georgia

    Wynn Literature is a site I found a few years ago as I was looking for music for my high school Intermediate Band to play for the Georgia Music Educators Association's Large Group Performance Evaluation (concert festival). The band I had one year was unprepared to play most Grade 4 Literature and I needed help choosing Grade 2 or 3 pieces. Wynn created this list of compositions that are on the GMEA LGPE required list. It is important to double check the most current LGPE list as the list is updated yearly. The compositions are written by composers whose works have been deemed to be "Contemporary Concert Band Standards" as they have the best mix of challenging the students as well as entertaining. Some of the composers include James Swearingen, Quincy Hilliard Robert W. Smith, David R. Holsinger, and James Curnow just to name a few. The site has changed a lot since I originally found it. You were able to click on the individual compositions to get more information about the piece such as key signature, meter, performance ranges for most of the instruments, technical issues that may occur (difficult rhythms or harmonies), background on the composer and historical perspective of the composition. Since the site's links do not work anymore, WynnLiterature is a great starting point to search for literature to play at the middle school level as well as the lower/developmental bands in high school.

Encouraging strengths in students instead of only identifying weaknesses can help build musical self-efficacy. The article is technically written for piano teachers, but could be applied to all music teachers.

Effective Practice: An Investigation of Observed Practice Behaviors, Self-R...: EBSCOhost - 0 views

Structured practice

shared by Stephen Hull on 05 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • Although it exists in the larger context of music practice in general, the concept of deliberate practice requires sustained concentration and effort and is therefore somewhat distinct from unstructured activities engaged in for the sake of playing for fun.
  • Deliberate practice encompasses effortful, goal-directed, and intentionally structured activities.
  • When taken together, the findings suggest that those who took a more strategic approach toward practicing (e.g., breaking parts down and putting them back into context, identifying difficult spots) also achieved the highest performance scores.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Although several lines of research (e.g., deliberate practice, mental practice, modeling, self-regulation) have begun to show links between general practicing approaches and achievement, relatively little is known about which specific behaviors are most effective in eliciting performance gains. Information regarding which behaviors are beneficial to school-age musicians is especially needed, given their often limited formal training and the scarcity of studies with this population. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among observed practice behaviors, self-reported practice habits, and the performance achievement of high school wind players.
  • In general, the results of this study have shown that the quality of practicing that takes place may be more crucial to improvement than the quantity of time spent playing.
  • The results also have practical implications for music educators. Although the findings cannot be considered causal, the correlations between performance achievement and the behaviors repeat section, slowing, whole-part-whole, and skipping directly to or just before critical musical sections of the étude indicate that these may be particularly useful strategies for making improvement.
  • It may be that those who were more accustomed to practicing with specific musical or technical goals in mind were able to practice more effectively during the study
  • This suggests that teachers should guide students toward practicing with musical and/or technical goals in mind.
  • This could be done by assigning specific musical passages to students or by asking students to practice applying specific musical concepts (dynamic contrasts, vibrato, expressive tempo manipulation, etc.) to various pieces when working alone.
  • This suggests students may need to be trained to distinguish between efficient and inefficient practicing.
  • For example, teachers could demonstrate characteristics of inefficient practicing, such as repetition of errors and physical and/or mental fatigue, and warn students to guard against them. Conversely, teachers could also highlight characteristics of efficient practice, such as focusing on problematic passages and taking appropriate amounts of rest.

  • This is good of course, in that it means that music can take flight easily in those who have an ear for it and they can move on quickly to the joy of music-making, both on their own and with others. But this same skill can become a disadvantage when those same students want to move into more complicated repertoire or advanced improvisational music-making. Here, their lack of foundation in the theoretical language of music will impede their progress, and it will be frustrating for already advanced players to stop and ‘go back to the beginning’ to pick up the language and basic theoretical concepts they need in order to move forward with their playing.
  • nd it’s also why it is so important to teach instrumentalists to sing the melodies they play as part of their learning process. This connects their physical response at the instrument and their technical understanding to their innately human ability to express themselves with their singing voice.
  • eep theoretical ideas tied very tightly to some kind of practical knowledge.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • he First Principle of my Solfa choir workshops is to ‘Use the Ear to Train the Eye’: we
  • never separate the look of something on the page or on the blackboard from the sound of something they already know how to do.
  • After this happens, I then am very strict in applying the Second Principle of my Solfa choir workshops: ‘Stop While You Are Ahead’.
  • Adding one more concept on top of this one – for example modulation to the relative minor, or even to the (!warning!) so-called ‘flat keys’ can immediately burst the delicate bubble of achievement and understanding.
  • Third Principal: ‘Be Kind, but Apply the Second Principle’. While it can be difficult to curb my own enthusiasm for my subject and my happiness at having conveyed something that leads to interesting questions, I do try to restrict myself to giving only very brief answers to further theoretical questions before closing these conversations and moving on to something else that is practical and that I know my students can do.

    Repertoire list for younger or developing band programs. There is a lot of grade 3-4 literature on this list which would be out of range for many middle schools, but should someone have a Jr. High situation or an advanced middle school band, this would be a tremendous resource.

    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.
