  • 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
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • 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

Playing Both Sides of the Horn: Approaching the Saxophone As a Classical and Jazz Instrument - SBO - 0 views

jazz classical instrument Saxophone music education

shared by lemason on 28 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • The saxophone is usually viewed by the wider public as a “jazz instrument,” thanks to nearly one hundred years of iconography associated with that art form
  • most in the music community now recognize that the instrument is capable of performing in any musical style, from contemporary classical to jazz to rock to pop to salsa, and so much more.
  • Instead of solely nurturing one style of saxophone playing, students should be encouraged to make use of all of the wonderful potentialities of the instrument, so that they can enjoy any possible form of music making throughout their lives.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A different mouthpiece and reed combination. The classical and commercial genres require different sounds, approaches to articulation, etc. While the performer mostly accomplishes this, a purpose-built, high-quality mouthpiece will make their lives easier
  • Many charlatans are lurking in the world, touting their instruments as “perfect for jazz” or “great for classical playing!” In truth, a quality saxophone is a quality saxophone, and all reputable brands are manufactured to allow for absolutely any type of playing. The student should simply be on the highest-quality instrument possible
  • two “pants pockets.” In one, a saxophonist keeps their classical skills, and in the other they keep their jazz skills. The two different styles shouldn’t mix, but they should both be handy for any given musical situation.
  • classical alto performance include the Selmer S-80 C*, the Selmer S-90 190, the Selmer Concept, or the Vandoren Optimum AL3. For jazz alto, the Meyer 5M, Vandoren V16 5M, Jody Jazz HR 5M, and the D’Addario Select 5M are all great choices.
  • As far as reeds go, it’s really up to the preference of the student. Some players use “classical” reeds and “jazz” reeds, while others use the same make on both setups. However, since classical and jazz mouthpieces are designed differently, the student will normally need to play reeds that are slightly lower in strength on their jazz mouthpiece.
  • teachers advocate different embouchures for jazz and classical playing, I am of the opinion that one can serve both purposes
  • One of the biggest differences between the performance of commercial and classical styles is articulation
  • Classical and jazz saxophone sounds are vastly different
  • how are students supposed to know what a great classical or jazz sound is? How are they supposed to learn about style? As always, the musician’s greatest tool is a busy set of ears.
  • Young saxophonists, from the first day, should have quality recordings available to them. With online video-sharing and streaming services, it is incredibly easy to give a student a list of names and let them start exploring for themselves

    One of most common ways of recognizing intervals is by associating them with songs that are familiar. This website provides an excellent list of reference songs for every interval. They also include recordings of each reference song. Each excerpt illustrates the interval it is associated with. Earmaster also includes various ear training exercises for musicians at all levels. The training exercises are free to try, but do eventually cost in order to use.

  • 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

Games focus on composition, ear training, and responding. The free games are just the beginning- Quaver Music offers a comprehensive, standards-based K-6 curriculum that is loaded with hundreds of interactive songs, lesson plans, assessment tools, video episodes, games, and more. An annual subscription is required, but teachers can purchase smaller sections of the curriculum to meet their specific needs.

    Online Practice Record is a fantastic tool to aide performers of all levels with keeping a record of their practice. The program is easy to use and tracks practice time, music practiced, and questions or comments the user might have to refer to later. The records can be printed or emailed to others, which is an important feature for teachers. The teacher even has the option of entering comments directly into a practice record.

    This site is great for teachers looking to motivate students to practice more consistently. Its purpose is to make practicing more interactive by providing a record of student practicing and the opportunity for teachers to view and comment on the student's practicing. The recourses include practice logs, comments by teachers, student-set goals, and the pieces practiced. This site is very student-directed in the sense that the students set their own practice goals and must be motivated to be more successful in their practicing in order to make progress in their record of practicing statistics. Although you do have to register to use this site, there is no charge and it allows teachers to provdie students with some guidance in their practicing.
  • tiffanywurth on 10 Feb 19
     
    This is a website that students can use to track their daily practice habits. It tracks amount of time, what was practiced and all records can be printed off for students to analyze. The lesson teacher is also able to add comments on each post.
