10 Min Tips to Teach Music

Hey all, Welcome to Episode 6 of my podcast. This week I share a class activity that I used with one of may classes. This task was using two pieces from Mussorgsky's Pictures at An Exhibition. One group did analyse and the other group did compare. I talk about what I did in the class and how the students reacted with the activity. I have also provided the templates for the activity. I have the PDF and the Google Docs for those that would find this useful. I ask that if you use these documents, please retain the copyright.

Hi guys, Welcome to Episode 5. So far, the podcast is going well. People seem to really like it and are grateful for the support material. As I said last week, this podcast is about Contrast. My students seem to struggle a little with the differences between contrast, unity and variety. So I thought I would talk a little about contrast. In the PDF this week I have placed an explanation, a sample question response, some links to pieces of music that use contrast, sample score and then a list of the concepts with some things that might contain contrasting elements. I do hope you find it helpful. If you do, please leave a comment, follow the podcast (currently available in the US iTunes), subscribe to the YouTube channel or like me on Facebook and leave a review.
