I started the day in a Sibelius demonstration where I picked a few tips and shortcuts in Sibelius. I also learned more about photo score and Got a couple of new websites to use to find music.
The second session of day involved standard based education in our ensembles. The idea I took away from it was to shift focus away from the group and focus once again on the individual student.
For the third block of the day I went to listen to a great HS orchestra and got some repertoire ideas. The afternoon sessions weren't as good but I did pick up some useful conducting ideas and movement ideas.
I closed out the day by listening to a great community band and then another full orchestra.
Great news for the day: I won a FREE copy of Sibelius 6 today!!!
Goals/ideas for future:
- use the Internet to help create a more well rounded music experience and address state standards (website/blackboard)
- create sight reading folders
- use photo score and Sibelius to create easier parts for struggling students
- use photo score and Sibelius to arrange more music from Internet for strings (e.g. String quartets)
- when conducting arrangements order original scores
- incorporate more student movement into lessons/playing
