I've been working on creating this practice challenge to help my students finish learning one of our concert pieces: Lion Sleeps tonight. I occasionally do practice activities in class for 10-15 minutes of rehearsal time. This enables me to teach students how to practice, give them time to practice, and help them see the benefits of practicing (they can immediately hear/feel a different after these guided practice sessions). Normally I made worksheets or games for guided practice time...but I had an idea to us a google form. Students have to look at the music and answer some questions before they practice. Students are able to track and report their accuracy on their reps and reflection on their progress. The music is all embedded in the form. Students have to answer questions correctly in order to move forward on the form.
Check out a sample HERE and see what you think!
How do you insert the musical excerpts into the google form? Is it just a screenshot/picture?
ReplyDeleteI save images from flat.io….makes it faster to make and better quality image.
DeleteI couldn’t get past the question “what does L2” mean. I tried low 2, low 2nd finger, C natural, half step. None of those worked and it won’t let me proceed with the form until I get it correct. What am I missing? Thanks! I love the idea!
ReplyDeleteHello! Low 2 (all lower case) should work. I’ll have to fix that one.
