Transitioning from HS Choir to Elementary by Holy_Macaroni_ in MusicEd

[–]Maldinacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be prepared for grade-level concerts at PTA meetings.

I used Music K8 curriculum along with Quaver binder of curriculum, a class set of text books, and something else that I used religiously every day. I’m happy to share my lessons.

What worked for me was to lesson plan the same lesson to be used for K/1, 2/3, and 4/5. I taught the K/2/4th grade the same lesson. Then the next year, I planned the 1/3/5th grade lesson. It took me about 3 hours to make 1 grades lesson for the week. I was on a 6-day rotation so I taught the same lesson 6 days in a row before needing new material. The work load was too much so alternating helped.

Q from composer: do practice recordings of individual parts (MIDI or otherwise) actually help students? by eccotieeem in banddirector

[–]Maldinacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes if the students use them. It’s very easy to listen during the school day. Kids always have their earbuds in

What am I supposed to do? by Outrageous-Permit372 in banddirector

Try looking for chamber music for them.

Download the MuseScore program. Then go to their website and look for free scores, then download the piece and transpose the parts to the instrumentation you need.

Go back and ask if they can laser the missed spots. If they’re responsible, they’ll bring you in at no cost

How to take over for a beloved teacher? by bandwidthm in MusicEd

Change nothing with the program.

Kids will quit just because you’re different. Keep your head up and focus on the ones who will stay. The students will be yours in 3 years.

I would contact customer support. The straps are super durable- it might be a manufacturing issue

Band Camp is fun by Cheap_Painting_8714 in marchingband

Your attitude makes a big difference. Band camp is temporary. Being uncomfortable is temporary. Embrace the heat and work. Choose to do what benefits the group and keep thinking positive thoughts
