Students should also be able to distinquish whether they're "in tune or not" based on the playing an out of tune pitch along with the child. Even if the student can't tell if they're sharp or flat with this duo playing, the goal at first is for them to at least recgonize that "something doesn't sound right" and then use that as an indication that they need to tune themselves with the tuner. Once students learn how to use the tuner they need to be able to adjust their embouchure accordingly to change their intonation. Other factors that must also be learned include breath support, posture, placement, & position of their. Singing out loud on pitch to match a given pitch will also help students achieve the optimum intonation possible as an elementary band student.

How do you practice sightreading? What steps must a musician go through prior to playing a piece for the first time (STAR)? What is STAR? 2.a - perform on pitch, in rhythm, with appropriate dynamics and timbre, and maintain a steady tempo 2.b - perform easy rhythmic, melodic, and chordal patterns accurately and independently on rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic *classroom 2.c - perform expressively a varied repertoire of music representing diverse genres 2.e - perform in groups, blending al timbres, matching dynamic levels, and responding to the cues of a 2.f - perform independent al parts1 while other students sing or play contrasting parts 5.a - read whole, half, dotted half, quarter, and eighth notes and rests in 24, 34, and 44 5.b - use a system (that is, syllables, numbers, or letters) to read simple pitch notation in the treble clef in major keys Students must understand the definition of sightreading in order to perform such a required skill within band correctly. This can be obtained by using new music within our lesson books and also sightreading music for the next school year. A step by step process will be learned and used by the students to help them better grasp the concept of sightreading. Since sightreadying can only be "practiced" one time for each song perfomed, students need to have a strong understanding of what steps they go thru during the early stages of sightreading (even prior to actually playing the piece for the first time) so that they can truely gain a better understanding & grow musically as a sightreader. The STAR program can be used to help guide students. Sightreading by defination is reading a piece of music for the first time. The goal as a musician when sightreading a piece of music for the first time is to start at the beginning of a song and play through it completely without stopping, so to gain a general overview as to how the song goes. In order for students to do this, they need to use the STAR system. The stands for "Sharps & flats, Time signatures/tempo, Articulation/Accidentals,Rests /Rhythms/Repeats" and is a step by step check off system for the students to use prior to playing a song. This check off system is used as a way to help provide students with as much information as possible prior to playing the new song, so to promote as much success as possible for that student when sightreading their music. Students can play a new piece of music with 90% accuracy. Students can explain the star system and use it in their sightreading. Resources: New music & material that students have never played before, guides,, STAR system reminder papers (if necessary).

How do you practice sightreading? What steps must a musician go through prior to playing a piece for the first time (STAR)? What is STAR? 2.a - perform on pitch, in rhythm, with appropriate dynamics and timbre, and maintain a steady tempo 2.b - perform easy rhythmic, melodic, and chordal patterns accurately and independently on rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic *classroom 2.c - perform expressively a varied repertoire of music representing diverse genres 2.d - echo short rhythms and melodic patterns 2.e - perform in groups, blending al timbres, matching dynamic levels, and responding to the cues of a Students must understand the definition of sightreading in order to perform such a required skill within band correctly. This can be obtained by using new music within our lesson books and also sightreading music for the next school year. A step by step process will be learned and used by the students to help them better grasp the concept of sightreading. Since sightreadying can only be "practiced" one time for each song perfomed, students need to have a strong understanding of what steps they go thru during the early stages of sightreading (even prior to actually playing the piece for the first time) so that Sightreading by defination is reading a piece of music for the first time. The goal as a musician when sightreading a piece of music for the first time is to start at the beginning of a song and play through it completely without stopping, so to gain a general overview as to how the song goes. In order for students to do this, they need to use the STAR system. The stands for "Sharps & flats, Time signatures/tempo, Articulation/Accidentals,Rests /Rhythms/Repeats" and is a step by step check off system for the students to use prior to playing a song. This check off system is used as a way to help provide students with as much information as possible prior to playing the new song, so to promote as much success as possible for that student when sightreading their music. Students can play a new piece of music with 90% accuracy. Students can explain the star system and use it in their sightreading.
