Beyond Rhythms and Pitches: Get to the ‘Good Stuff’ Faster with Tech Tools
Saturday, January 25, 2025
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM
Description
Imagine band and orchestra students walking into rehearsal prepared with the basics of rhythms and pitches. This session will focus on the tools and processes to help your students build skills and foundational knowledge. Through guided practice sessions with authentic assessment and feedback, they will succeed and become better musicians faster. We’ll show five software tools from MusicFirst (Sight Reading Factory, MusicFirst Recorder, PracticeFirst, Musition and Auralia) that are simple for you and your students – so that you can rehearse more than the basics sooner. All participants will be eligible for a free 30-day trial to sample these tools.
