I found the "Noteflight" program to be easier to use than "MuseScore" and being the "immigrant" that I am, appreciated how user friendly it was. While I know that the free version has less in the way of bells and whistles than the paid subscription version, I still feel that students would it find it very gratifying to use and most useful in instruction. I plan on using it to write out accompaniments for my recorder students as well as study sheets for my chorus.

What you already knew but it's great to hear anyway.....

This article in the LA Times is by a young man who writes of all he gained from playing the sax when he was in school. It's a well written and insightful article that gives us hope that we are , somehow, making a difference to some child out there.

OK, I finally figured out how to do this correctly! I am following William Bauer's blog and he posted this article from the LA Times.
For all you band teachers out there!

For all you elementary general music teachers.....
Just thought I'd share some some sources for material that I have used extensively in my relatively short teaching career:
Don Dupont and Brian Hiller have several Orff based books full of activities that are always enjoyed by my students. Check them out at BrianandDon.com. Also for Orff general music, Kriske and Delelles are popular in my district. Their music can be purchased at Westmusic.com. Both D & H as well as K & D feature arrangements for barred instruments, percussion and voice. I like their processes that offer a very sequential approach to each song. Enjoy!

Not for us musicians but......
I was watching the nightly news on NBC and saw a feature about the Khan Academy. It is a website that features tutorials on a vast number of mathematics topics. Everything from elementary school on up through high school and even college. I went on the sight and it is very user friendly and approachable. I thought I'd pass this on as if our students are better in math, maybe that will help their music!

My very first blog entry EVER!
Hello to all fellow students in Technology for Music Teaching and Learning. Hopefully, I am doing this correctly. I thought for my first entry, I would just introduce myself. My husband and I have been married for over 30 years and we have two grown daughters. This is only my fourth year teaching. I have been teaching General Music K-5 and 4th and 5th grade chorus and have been amazed at how much I love it. Hats off to you middle school and high school music teachers. I don't know how you do it!
Looking forward to learning a lot from all of you and from this course.
Best,
Audrey
