    This YouTube video gives excellent but brief instruction on the topic of tone color or timbre. What is tone color? The presentation uses several instruments to illustrate what timbre is and how composers might use this musical element to evoke a mood or paint a musical picture.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra for Kids website features games, listening activities, family programs and teacher lesson plan resources. It is a place where young children can be introduced to the instruments and inner workings of an orchestra. There is an activity called Flat Beethoven, which is like Flat Stanley, where the children send Beethoven in the mail to different places and he has "adventures' with the people where ever he goes. Hosts of Flat Beethoven write the children back and send him to another place. FUN!

    This is another Orchestra-sponsored website with fun activities for kids. It can be used during spare time, or units could be developed around it. The game I found which I liked in particular is called "Beethoven's Baseball". You get to pick your composer team, and then click on Beethoven to throw the "pitches", which are questions. The game keeps your score and is interactive. The website also has a "listen by composer" section, as well as other instructions for activities including making your own instrument.

    MuseScore is a free music notation program that is easy to use and can produce easy to read, high quality sheet music for your ensembles. The interface is similar to other notation programs that you need to pay for. I have been using MuseScore to create etudes and warmups for my ensemble classes.

Intonation aural skills listening ufmue music education band

shared by lemason on 28 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • The worlds' finest musicians achieve memorable performances such as these by making a choice lesser musicians will not endure: they choose to listen. To really listen.
  • Is fine intonation really a skill limited to those fortunate few born with a natural aptitude for pitch awareness?
  • self motivation is the key to personal excellence. But the role of the teacher is to teach!
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • First, the player must be aware of and be able to correct pitch discrepancy. The second step is to become aware of the intonation challenges of their own particular instrument. Finally, the player must be able to hear their pitch in relation to the various timbre and octaves in the ensemble.
  • fine intonation is not optional. It is the "grail" to be pursued with almost religious zeal.
  • The heart and the body agree with the ear when the pitch is right.
  • The skill that must be taught (and can be taught!) is that of awareness of pitch discrepancy, or "the beats". This is an aural skill
  • lemason on 28 Sep 15
     
    The article discusses insight on intonation and ways that teachers and students should approach intonation. The answer is, not with a tuner.

    The University of Indiana has provided a comprehensive set of individual instrument instructional videos for all instruments. These instructional videos include woodwind, brass, percussion, harp, keyboards, strings, and fretted strings. The view can pause the videos at any time and interact with the musical passages on the right side of the video. In addition to this being a comprehensive set of resources, it is also through a reputable source.

    On this site, students can gain further understanding in a variety of musical topics, some that they may be learning in school. Most of the activities are game-oriented, so this is a fun outlet for kids to explore outside of the music classroom. Students can learn about the instruments of the orchestra, famous musicians and soloists, and popular composers. One thing to note is that the descriptions are rather text-heavy. Therefore, this site would be appropriate for an older elementary student or middle schooler as far as reading readiness is concerned.
