LAB

A lab is a time and a place where, under controlled conditions, students can learn new concepts or review old concepts.

During the lesson

Before/after the lesson while students are waiting such as in multi-family member lessons

At the students home

Teach the Teacher July Music Ace Maestro Great theory learning program available for purchase as 1 or 2 separate programs or as 1 all-inclusive teacher’s addition.

Theory Games

Theory learning program

that corresponds with the

Alfred Piano method. Also

works well for specific

assignments.

Interactive Music

Great for younger learners.

Creative characters take them

through games and activities

centered around classic

compositions.

Piano Wizard

A program that teaches students how to play the piano by matching colors and rhythms and eventually progresses to full Grand Staff Music Reading. Great for students who don’t normally play the piano as

their main instrument as well

as current piano students.

Groovy

Students use shapes and pictures

to compose songs. They can also

do ear training activities as well as

view their composition in full musical

score. Great for young and old and

a favorite among all of my students.

Auralia

This is a more advanced program specifically used for beginning to advanced vocalists but can be used with any advanced instrumental student. A challenging ear-training program but very worth the cost.

Ear Master Pro (as suggested by teachers on the web-call)

This is another program that was suggested

by teachers on the web-call. This

program includes over 400 lessons as

well as 200 jazz lessons. Also has the

capability of adding your own exercises.

Meet the Musicians

This is a great video series. It works well for small group or individualized sessions. I will split the video and have students watch the 2 acts across 2 separate lessons. I like it because it not only talks about a composers music but also gives students personal information that the students find relatable.

Musiclearningcommunity.com

This program requires an on-line subscription for teachers. Each teacher enrolls his/her students and they can access the program from home. I have used this as part of the lab time as well as at-home assignments. You can add fun competition to your studio by having students compete on one game for the week and then reward the highest scorer.

Musictheory.net (free program suggested by teachers on the web-call)

This program is available free

on line. It is also available

to be printed out. Several

Take-Lessons instructors

recommended this one. This would not be a good program for individualized work for non-readers but for anyone else I think that it would be a wonderful addition!
