My students obviously love to sing...otherwise they wouldn't choose to be in choir in high school! But learning in choir is so much more than just the act of singing. A large part of being a musician is learning to read the actual music itself (which is equal to learning a foreign language) in addition to understanding the science behind sound formation. This is where the materials I am hoping for come in. Every student loves to play, move, and learn in fun ways regardless of their age! I want to bring some hands-on learning materials into my classroom that are focused on the subjects of music theory and voice technique to help boost my students' learning in these areas. Some of the materials I'm hoping for are basic individual student materials such as student whiteboards and dry erase pouches which allow us to practice writing theory concepts while saving paper. Others are more novel items such as games, flashcards, and colorful scarves, a tried-and-true technique to teach movement within a musical phrase. And I would absolutely love to have personal compact mirrors to help students see their own mouths and concentrate on their own tone/vowel production during class. I would be so grateful to have these materials to use alongside the repertoire that I teach and the performances that we give to help supplement my students' music theory and technique.
