1 the Music Lesson Comes to Life! P/J Music Methodology, University of Windsor Tuesday February 19Th, 2019 1 The Music Lesson Comes to Life! P/J Music Methodology, University of Windsor Tuesday February 19th, 2019 Dr. Vanessa Mio Assistant Professor of Music Education – Western University Director – Windsor String Academy ! Musical development at any stage requires the establishment of a strong foundation, as it sets the stage for everything that follows ! Musical activities foster the refinement of listening closely to specific instructions for physical movement and sound production ! All musical development through the study of specific musical instruments requires this healthy technical and musical foundation Large Motor Movement • Movement is natural form of expression – holistic sensory experience • Indirectly develop the execution and identification of tempi, pulse, meter, duration, rhythm patterns, dynamics, melody, etc. • Stimulating emotional and physical well-being, self-efficacy, spatial concepts, co-ordination, awareness of immediate surroundings, social experiences • All activities can be modified o Start and Stop – used at every stage to different degrees of precision. Start with the drum to encourage walking on the beat, then with music “Walk and Stop” o Movement Stories – The Bees, The Caterpillar and the Butterfly o What Shall We Do on a Nice Fall Day?/ Winter Day/ Summer Day/ Spring Day? o Turkey Reel o Creative Dancing – Barry’s Jig; Waltz of the Flowers; Enya o My Littler Partner Small Motor Movement • Attention directed to specific muscles- how they are moving, how it feels, etc. • Provides children with a sense of “personal space” • Independence is fostered as control of movement is increased • Drums, resonator bars, hoops, scarves, small percussion instruments require different muscular responses o Trot Trot to Boston Town o This is the Way We Play (Drums) o Roly Poly o Jack-o-Lantern (individual chimes) ** seasonal songs** o Stormy Day o Pass the Rhythm (Echoes) o Learning various songs on the glockenspiel, ukulele, etc. o Marching to selected music playing a variety of instruments 2 Focused Listening • Music is a listening experience, and focused listening engages the full attention of the learner • Animal sounds; sounds in their immediate environment • Experimentation with various timbres (wood, metal, etc.) and sounds (loud, soft) of different instruments • Identification of high/middle/low pitches; forte/piano; crescendo/decrescendo; legato/staccato through recordings of instrumental music o Animal sounds o Sounds that they may hear in their surrounding environment o Experiment with various timbres (wood, metal, etc.) and sounds (loud, soft) of different instruments o High/low/middle pitches, forte/piano, crescendo/decrescendo, legato/staccato through various recordings of instrumental music Call and Response / Pitch Matching • Develops audiation • Through all stages of musical development, singing should be encouraged at the appropriate level of proficiency – in early stages, reward participation over accuracy! • In early stages, songs should include much repetition, few words, echoes, many verses, small range • Children learn first by listening, and may prefer to not participate until comfortable • Repetition is an essential factor in the retention of material o Animal Name Game (clap syllables with flash cards) o I Went to Visit a Farm One Day o Student Name Game (clap syllables) o Mystery Bag (seasonal; question and answer with minor 3rd interval) o Singing solfege (dictation) o Above and Below – rope on floor; interval of minor 3rd References Gordon, E.

  • Promoting Collaborative Playful Experimentation Through Group Ear Playing in Higher
    Reflective conservatoire conference Promoting collaborative playful experimentation through group ear playing in Higher Education Abstract Forty-six first-year, primarily classically trained, undergraduate students took part in an exploratory research study on Group Ear Playing (GEP) in Higher Education. The students attended the ‘Playing by Ear’ component of the Practical Musicianship module, which adopts the materials and strategies on playing by ear in the instrumental lesson developed by Lucy Green (2012; 2014). The students were divided into eight groups, they were provided with audio material (one pop song, a selection of classical pieces from which to select one and a free choice piece) and were instructed to copy the music by ear as a group for 40 minutes each week for five weeks. Data were collected through individual reflective logs collected each week (n=196) and end-of- programme feedback forms that included open questions and rating scales. The findings of the study suggest firstly, that the students engaged in playful experimentation in a collaborative manner, where the more confident musicians supported their less confident colleagues. Secondly, a variety of strategies for improvising together was explored, which included adding ornaments based on scales, playing chords and rhythms for variety, altering the pieces’ structure, adding or changing rhythms, and missing notes out. Thirdly, although the focus of the activity was on copying music by ear from recordings, all groups included an improvisation section at each piece they rehearsed, where all musicians playfully experimented together rather than as soloists, in order to ‘change things slightly’ and ‘make the piece sound more interesting’.

  • Extramusical Skills in the Music Classroom. By: Mcclung, Alan C., Music Educators Journal, Mar2000, Vol
    Extramusical Skills in The Music Classroom. By: McClung, Alan C., Music Educators Journal, Mar2000, Vol. 86, Issue 5 Historically, music skills have never been the only skills taught in a music classroom. Teachers have often used the inherent attributes of music to offer students a variety of opportunities to practice many of the skills they need to resolve life's daily challenges successfully. The ability to commit to a project or goal, to understand how personal success is often tied to the success of others, and to realize that there are many ways to measure and experience success are all examples of skills that enhance a students' ability to achieve objectives in both the music classroom and elsewhere. In education, such skills are referred to as societal and emotional skills. For the most part, these skills are a subtext to the music curriculum. Checking our colleague's lesson plans, we would rarely, if ever, find a lesson marked "teach students skills needed to get along." But, it has become increasingly beneficial for music teachers to design lesson strategies that include appropriate emotional and societal skills to enable students to succeed in the music classroom.[ 1] As one music colleague explained, "My job is not to teach only music; my job is to teach about life through music." Societal and emotional skills play an influential role in the music classroom, a role that has become increasingly complex. For students and teachers to be successful, it is important to understand how societal and emotional skills, called extramusical skills in the music classroom context, can be used to positively influence situational outcomes.

  • Web Resources for Music Teachers
    WEB RESOURCES FOR MUSIC TEACHERS Updated July 2, 2020 Hello! These links have been gathered for a broad set of teaching circumstances, from young children through the college setting, serving a variety of backgrounds, abilities, age ranges and sizes of groups. Please pick and choose those that will be helpful to your specific needs. Additionally, the sites are either free/open source, nearly free or commonly used in classrooms in our region. While there are many wonderful on-line commercial courses, the intent behind this list is to provide sites that are usable by all who have Internet access. Please note that the Charlottesville Symphony Society and the University of Virginia have no affiliation with any of these websites. Please approach your browsing and interactions with the websites using the same caution you would for any other Internet searches and activities. We encourage you to screen content before sharing educational materials with students, and to provide context that suits your educational goals. We cannot warranty the safety of the sites or freedom from spyware and other malware, though several UVA music faculty members have visited each site and not had any issues of their own. Please remember that some sites will work more freely, depending on your operating system. We are not in a position to offer technical support. Additionally, as the Internet is constantly changing, we are aware that the sites may no longer be active. This list is provided in June 2020 as an aid during this unprecedented time of lockdowns, social distancing and virtual learning. Many thanks to Charlottesville Symphony Principals and UVA music faculty members Kelly Peral, Katy Ambrose and John Mayhood for their assistance in generating this document.

  • Essential Music Lesson Ingredient No.2
    VMT 073 - ESSENTIAL MUSIC LESSON INGREDIENT NO.2 Vibrant, vibrant, vibrant music teaching. Proven and practical tips, strategies and ideas for Music Teachers. This is Episode 73 of the Vibrant Music Teaching Podcast. I’m Nicola Cantan and this is the second episode in a series about the essential ingredients of well-balanced music lessons. Welcome back, beautiful teachers. And if you're joining me for the first time, first of all, a huge welcome to you. Second of all, I recommend you actually go back and check out last week's episode first. So whether you’ve been listening for a while or you’re brand new, go back to last week’s episode; that was Episode 72 and listen to that before this one because this series is really is designed to be a series. It’s about the essential music lesson ingredients. And in that episode; that’s Episode Number 72, so go to vibrantmusicteaching.com/72; in that episode, I explained why I'm doing this series and what it’s all about as well as talking about the first music lesson ingredient. So do go back and listen if you haven't already. If you're ready to carry-on forward though, we're talking today about the next vital music lesson ingredient. Last week was music reading and this week is all about ear training. This is one that’s slightly, not less obvious, because we all; most of us know we need to do some form of aural work or ear training. But it's definitely less ubiquitous than music reading.
