    This is a website that uses videos and games to teach students about jazz and instrument identification. Is definitely geared toward younger students, probably in a general music setting. However, I could see it being used with middle school jazz band students as well.

  • Improvisation was an element of the old National Standards of Music (one of the standards that was often left unmet).
  •  The new standards
  • Chances are that if you are not a jazz musician, you may not spend very much time with improvisation at all

  • Musiclock provides many background “jam” tracks (loops) that are written in a specific scale (e.g. Major, or Pentatonic Major).  Those loops can be started on any note of the chromatic scale.  
  • This app is a great way to show kids the importance of learning their scales on piano or in band/orchestra

    The article discusses a new app that was created to improve or teach improvisation concepts using loops on any particular scale.

    Toby W. Rush provides fifty PDFs for public use on his website "Music Theory for Musicians and Normal People." He not only invites people to print the PDFs but encourages teachers to make copies and use these resources in the classroom. There are worksheets on everything from simple meter to minor scales and counterpoint. He breaks the worksheets into topics: fundamentals, diatonic harmony, development and form, chromatic harmony, and counterpoint. This a great page to keep in mind for any age group or music classroom.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Breaking it down allows you to make kids comfortable, give them confidence, and, most importantly, not practice mistakes.

  • 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
