This page is intended to help me document the activities and strategies that I've employed in my teaching position. I'm attempting to coordinate Gordon's Music Learning Theory with traditional musical instruction in the musical language.
Monday, I handed out fingering charts to the year II&III band students and asked them to find all the notes that are in the composition Furioso. It is my hope that students will explore their instruments and the notes on the fingering chart......we'll find out if anybody did it on Friday.....plan b is a worksheet that I am composing that presents all of the notes in the song on one piece of paper.....one for each instrument grouping. [Trad.]
The band echoed tonal solfedge patterns that were tonic and dominant. They sang the resting tone only and the class patterns in tune. Some students are beginning to play patterns on their instruments....need to remain consistent in skill learning sequence activities.[MLT]
Students get warnings when they're disruptive: 1,2,3: back to class. 3 times back to class: parent contact, dismissal from band.
Analysis of Blackbird, Sour Times, Born Again, Seven Days and Jaws theme completed and submitted to Dr.Boone.....awaiting feedback...
Passed off two songs piano performance and one song conducting...working on the Handel and Bach
