Good choices for your initial selections f...Tyler, <br />Good choices for your initial selections for your Google Reader. As a band director myself, I was interested in seeing what you are following on RSS feeds.<br />Marching.com was a hit for me. I am always interested in finding a good source for information and content on marching. I really enjoyed the videos. I am always looking for good examples for the students to watch and this site had a great archive of footage.<br />The MTI ShowPlace site was very nice, but I do not have many connections to the theatre world, so I don’t have many comments about the content here other than it was well put together and seemed to be well laid out.<br />Finale is a software program for music notation and I’m sure it works well for your students in your classroom. As you say, it also has many education features as well and an active blog. I use Sibelius, a competing software program, and I find it has the same features as Finale with great content and an active blog. A good source to keep up on! <br />Music Teachers Helper seems to be a cutting edge Web 2.0 tool for private music teachers. If I taught more private students, I would sign up for this tool today.<br />Learn Music Theory is a site that seems to have shallow content with too many Google ads. I am always suspicious of sites that have lots of ads. This may work well for you and your students for theory content, but I think a better site is Music Theory.net. This is a site that was created over 10 years ago and is a great site to show music theory in a very visual way. It works great to demonstrate many concepts on my large screen.<br />I think that these sites will give you a tremendous amount of information and ideas for your work!Curt Isaksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15114031622443582121noreply@blogger.com
