How to use
Supplementary Books for Teachers
with the Blue-Line Music Teaching Method
We recommend a
variety of materials for reference, classroom management, and your own
"education." These books are easy to read and full of lots of
information:
►The NPR Classical Music Companion
is organized alphabetically and offers easy to
understand definitions and explanations of musical terms and concepts. Keep this book close by, to entertain your students, or as a reference
for their questions.
 |
|
What's the difference between practicing and
rehearsing? What is an aria? What does a conductor do?
|
|
►Music, The Brain, And Ecstasy
explores the basic physics of sound. The
Blue-Line Music Teaching Method Teacher's Guide includes a number of
games and exercises based on information in this book.
 |
|
Explain how the ear and brain work together to
determine where a sound originates. Distribute numbered slips of
paper to your students, then have everyone close their eyes, heads down.
Call out a number and have the student
with that number tap the floor with his foot. Can your class guess where
the sound is coming from, simply by listening?

►Ron
Clark's
Essential 55
rules offer lots of tips for maintaining order,
attention, and cooperation during music (or any kind of) lessons.
►Additional books,
resources, ideas and references - along with specific ways to use them -
are included in the Blue-Line Music Teaching Method Teacher's Guide. See
