If all the music notation in the world disappeared and there were no sheets, no staff, no tab or anything, how would your practice as a music teacher change?
What about in band, orchestra, or choir?

It's important that students are given the opportunity to make their own original music in some form during every music class. It can be so easy to fall into "rehearse-the-rep" mode.

I'll be presenting at ISME in Montreal during the very first K-12 Symposium as part of the conference. Who's with me? Would love to be able to meet some folks there.

Situation 1:
Every student gets access to music on a rotating basis throughout the year.
Situation 2:
Students can opt to take a music class that runs all year. This means that some students would not be taking music classes.

Here's my yearly plug for the Music Escapades shop! I order her personalized ornaments for my piano students every year for Christmas. She also sells high quality teaching tools. #piano #pianoteacher #musician #teachingmusic musicescapades.com?srsltid=AfmB...
Having kids choose the music helps kids stay engaged in the music making.
Create a Google and then show how to search for music at their level on whatever site you use to order the music, and have them search and suggest material.

Something to try tomorrow!
Step 1: Choose progression for your class and have each group compose something different with it.
Step 2: Begin with a bass line and have each section come up with a pattern or melody that fits.
Step 3: Be amazed!

Do you teach your beginner and intermediate guitar classes to use a pick from day one?
Thoughts?

Sometimes it's OK to just stop conducting and let the kids lead.
If it is a more rhythm-based piece, there are lots of rhythm anchors to hang onto and they may not need you!
That's a good thing.

Use "quantization" to line up your human-made MIDI track automatically to the beat in your DAW.
Select different beat subdivisions to see what unique rhythms are generated.

Once they've had practice learning a song by ear each week, have them choose a song they know, learn it by ear, write it down, and then arrange it for their instrument for someone else to play.

Something as simple as a new dry-erase board on wheels can be so life changing. Now, to figure out how to get staff lines on this thing.

🌍🎶 Hey, music teachers! We’d love to get to know our amazing community better.
Tell us:
📍 Where are you from?
🎼 What do you teach? (Band, choir, orchestra, general music, or all of the above?)

Learn a new song by ear each week! Give them the first note and any hints that would be appropriate and give them 5 minutes.
Begin in a key they are familiar with.
As an added challenge, have them then learn the same song in an unfamiliar key.

Memes like this make a lot of assumptions:
That making a hit song is easy.
That complex music is inherently good.
That all musics must follow the musical practices of 18th-and-19th-century court musicians.
None of which are true.

Just finished my first Winter Concert at my new school this week. Here is what the program looked like. Lots of variety, some original arranging, and incredible musicianship. So proud.
