Last days of school - orchestra lesson plans

 It's the last 2 weeks of school for me! I like to make sure students are engaged and busy through the end of the year.  Otherwise teaching can start to feel too much like babysitting teenagers.  Here are my plans for the rest of the year!




Some have asked how to play Apples to Apples orchestra edition.  Here's a tutorial:

  1. Hi, I would like to play this game as the year unwinds. Will the playlist for the game actually apply to orchestra? It would be up to leaders' discretion? love the video playlist!

  2. The challenge is to apply any video to orchestra somehow. For example, there is a video of a dog eating a whole burrito in one gulp. A student might write that it if important to practice in small bites so make sure to learn the music effective instead of just playing the whole piece once…. All videos can be applied somehow. Just takes a little creativity.
