PLN- Performing Music

If you're looking for a one stop shop for music performance on the internet, look no further than YouTube! YouTube is great because everyone knows about it and can access it easily, so you can post, with expressed written permission, videos of your choir, band, or orchestra for people to see! This is can be especially useful if you want to have students reflect on and assess a concert; you just pull it up on YouTube and put it on the Smart Board, so they can respond to both what they see and what they hear to get the whole experience of a concert audience member, aside from the live aspect. Also, there are many videos by teachers both for teachers and for students, respectively, to give you or your students a new point of view on a song, technique, or most any other issue out there!

Dear Finale,

You are an absolute life saver! Your powers know no bounds, in my opinion, for you helped me with a project in GarageBand. I like that when I put in a note, I get instant feedback on what it sounds like and how it fits into a piece. And I found this much easier than trying to play a whole piece five times (it had five parts, yikes!) on the computer keyboard by leaps and bounds. You are easy to pick up, and once someone gets the hang of it, they can import, write, and create music quickly, efficiently, and effectively. I think, no, I know, I will continue to use you and your many tools in the future for my musical and teaching needs.

A new fan,
