It
didn't take me long to see that Chromatik would be a useful website for my
students to explore and to have fun with. So much of band class revolves
around repertoire that is chosen by the teacher. Even though I allow my students to choose and
vote on one or two pieces per concert; it’s not the same as them being able to
listen and play the current music that they enjoy. Every musician should have music that the
play just for enjoyment. The love of
music begins within and I feel after exploring this site that Chromatik could
help with this. Students might also
enjoy coming into class and performing their favorite songs for their fellow
classmates. The link for Chromatik is:
SmartMusic
is a website that I have been on and explored before. I have also attended
workshops about SmartMusic, because this is something that I hope to
incorporate into my program. I would love for my students to have the ability
to use this at home as well. SmartMusic
is a program that offers help while practicing at home. It will also do playing tests and
grading. It has a built in tuner and
also gives feedback immediately. The program
is also designed to use state standards for where you teach. SmartMusic has a
huge repertoire database and it offers technical studies. There are scale studies, rhythm studies,
intonation studies, and rhythm studies. The link for SmartMusic is:
