    This site is a great way to introduce the instruments of the orchestra.  It can be used individually to play the games or with the whole class to introduce instruments.  
  •  
    This is a great website to pair with the piece, "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" by Benjamin Britten. This interactive game describes all of the instruments in detail, offering relative outside information about each instrument. Students can play along either in a group setting or at home.
  •  
    A great resource for general music classes. Great guide to the orchestra for kids.
  •  
    This website is fantastic for students as individuals or as a full class activity! Step by step it takes them on a safari to learn about each instrument of the orchestra using Benjamin Britten's "A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra". It is kid-friendly and would be great for students in 2nd and 3rd grade. It tests their listening skills using games deciphering things like notes in a sequence, or high and low.
  •  
    Incredible multimedia, interactive version of Benjamin Britten's famous work. Produced by The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall. Students log in or free play a safari adventure to save an orchestra. Instrument families are explored in detail with listening examples in a leveled gaming experience. Interdisciplinary connections to safari excursion, story telling, sound properties, animals and travel. Teachers can create an account to track student progress and/or assessment. Works well with an IWB.

    I found this site while discovering music technology for Module 5. This is a great interactive game for elementary age children who are or have studied instruments, instrument families, and the orchestra. It teaches the player new information, assesses their understanding of that information, and has opportunities for further study.
  •  
    This is an interactive way to explore and discover instruments of the orchestra. Students will locate and learn about instruments on a "safari type" adventure. This is great for younger students.
  •  
    I use this composition to discuss instruments and instrument families with 3rd grade. Unfortunately, I haven't found something to really engage the students. I think this website might actually intrigue students into learning about the instrument.s

    The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra allows students to learn all about the different instruments in the orchestra, as well as listening examples of classical pieces of music. The games provide a brief lesson, and then students can participate through interactive games. I find this site very informative and the kids love the story line that goes along with the game sequence. Great resource in preparation for our annual Young People's Concert at the Bob Carr in Orlando.
  •  
    Great site for teaching and learning about the instruments of the orchestra. It also has games students can interact with as a group or by themselves.
  •  
    This is a fun, interactive website that helps students get to know the instruments, the set up of a professional ensemble, different genres, and musical roles.
  •  
    This website is a game developed by Carnegie Hall that helps younger students learn the instruments of the orchestra. The game uses Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This interactive game helps students understand the layout of an orchestra, the ranges of the individual instruments, and how they sound individually and together in an ensemble. This is an excellent tool for elementary music!

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

  • 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

    This articles discusses myths of the saxophone being a jazz instrument rather than a classical instrument. It offers suggestions on instrument selection, mouthpieces, embouchure development and reed selection.

Banddirector.com - The #1 Online Resource for Band Directors! - 0 views

  • 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
  •  
    The article discusses insight on intonation and ways that teachers and students should approach intonation. The answer is, not with a tuner.

    I have always found it difficult to make my warm-up something that the students take seriously, and improve from. This is the PDF of Larry Clark's clinic at Midwest 2014. It discusses a variety of different tools to help make warm-up something that the ensemble excels at, rather than a waste of time. Also includes a great graphic for the Circle of 4ths / 5ths.

    Admittedly, I'm a total geek for the "old classics", but I find this website absolutely amazing! In about 3 minutes time I was able to locate about a half dozen pieces that I've been looking for at some point or another since I started teaching. I think there are resources that every band director could use here.

    Public Domain town band music library. Would be great for so many things - especially playing marches at MPA that aren't overdone.
  •  
    This is another invaluable resource of Public Domain compositions for the Band World. So many of the old marches and waltzes are out of print and difficult to come by, but this website has an extensive list of great works that are all public domain. A great resource not only for finding pieces to play, but also for doing some traditional score study.
