Teaching music theory: How can modern music mix with traditional theory? - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting and scholarly article regarding theory/harmony in pop music vs. serious music.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this! I just sent it to my daughter, who's writing a college paper on the ways Schoenberg thought traditional theory should change to reflect modern harmony. Very timely!

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

  • 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.

    Well structured practice is the key to improvement

Performance: Low Brass - SBO - 0 views

  • It’s important to step back and think about how educators have influenced you, because your teaching philosophy depends on it
  • in the first stage, everyone teaches exactly as they had been taught. In the second stage, instructors adjust their style based on other expert teachers they’ve borrowed ideas from
  • I realized the students’ ability to read music or not read music was ultimately the teacher’s fault

  • the students’ enthusiasm fuels two purposes: bravado and attention-seeking behavior.
  • Left uncorrected, this rowdy behavior can be a pain in a band director’s side.
  • One example of the use of fear would be my weekly summer camp challenges
  • The challenge could occur in any section of any piece and this was a very effective tool at getting me to practice
  • Over experience and time, after attending numerous workshops, reading about this subject, and conducting research, I’ve come to the conclusion that students can be pushed to learn out of desire rather than fear
  • calm classroom rather than a happy classroom
  • A calm classroom has a lot of structure in place: the procedures are practiced and understood, there are rules and consequences for inappropriate behavior, and students are aware that learning is often a messy business.
  • The secret to developing a mature attitude comes from a love of sharing music and teaching patience.
  • Students need to be reminded why they’re doing what they’re doing.
  • When we develop our procedures and rules for the year, I make it a deliberate point to explain why the items were deemed important.
  • Treat your students as young adults. Another way to think of it would be to treat them as you’d like to be treated

Artistic to the Core: Music and Common Core | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Our Common Core Standards exist to support students' future success -- namely, college and career readiness.
  • I feel confident asserting that creativity and problem-solving skills acquired through arts training have prepared my students uniquely for their future success
  • These are the two biggest mental blocks I see: I am not a musician/singer/artist myself, so I do not feel comfortable with the art forms. There is no instructional time available to do anything "extra."
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Teachers must think on their feet, modify plans on the spot, approach content from different angles, support uniqueness, and inspire and foster growth.
  • Think of teaching standards through the arts, not independently of the arts
  • Holding onto misconceptions might prevent you from unlocking your students' creativity, originality and spark for learning
  • Start with a standard or concept you need to address. Ask yourself the following questions, and jot down all ideas you can. Your creative brainstorming will take your students beyond worksheets and unlock your creativity as a teacher and your students' enjoyment of the learning process.
  •  
    This is an interesting read that was linked on Dr. Bauer's resources discussing the connections of arts and common core standards.
  •  
    This informative Edutopia article by blogger and professor Karin Nolan encourages educators about the simplicity about integrating their current teaching approach and curriculum structure with a standards-based curriculum. You do not have be a musician to satisfy the standards either.

    This is a great article for the classroom teacher who is looking arts integrated lessons.

    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.

    This could be a great resource as a fun follow up with certain topics students are learning.  It could also be a good individual time to explore what they are interested in, whether it be at school or at home!
  •  
    This is a nice resource for games and interactive activities to give students information on the orchestra/orchestral instruments, composers, and the musicians in the orchestra. My students love games and they obviously love technology so I think combining these would be great. This would probably be better for a SMARTboard, rather than projecting it from a computer to the TV because the SMARTboard allows kids to get more involved.
  •  
    This is a great website for students to review concepts learned in class. "Instrument Frenzy" is a high speed game that can be used to review instruments and categorize them by family. 
  •  
    A great website for students to learn about the instruments, and people of the orchestra. They also learn about composers and compositions, and are able to make their own instrument, mingles, and minuets. A great website to use for elementary students who are learning about the orchestra.

Performance: Working with Beginners - SBO - 0 views

  • Breaking it down allows you to make kids comfortable, give them confidence, and, most importantly, not practice mistakes.
  • intellectualizing, listening, and blowing
  • Intellectualizing means thoroughly understanding the constructs of music –rhythmically, melodically, idiomatically, and tonally – before attempting the final product.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • It is also important for students to practice with a model and without a model. I give them a model about 50 percent of the time. In the very beginning, when it’s only three or four notes, the rhythm is not usually a problem
  • Thumbs up means “I got it, let’s go.” Thumbs sideways means “Almost, I need another pass.” Thumbs down means “I’m lost!”

      This method works as feedback. I use them currently in my school.
  • Audiation is the musical voice inside your head, something like your musical imagination
  • Professional brass players use rebreather bags, incentive spirometers, and other tools to create an air model and to increase lung capacity
  • Children are used to taking conversational breaths; we need to teach them to breathe like musicians
  • For the inspiration I recommend using a breathing tube – basically a ½ to ¾-inch piece of PVC coupling
  • I use “sizzling” and “long tones.” Sizzling is great because you have the students create a natural resistance that simulates what it is like playing the horn
  • Long tones are very important to the development of a good sound
