Me: I can hear your trombone slide from here.

Kid: is that good?

*goes to trombone, puts it in 4th position and holds it up*

Me: That ain't no slide. What you got there is a trombone stick.

Easter Egg Note Hunt Challenge | Intermediate Band Looking for a fun, engaging, and educational spring music activity for your band students? This Easter-themed rhythm-reading and composition game is perfect for elementary and middle school band class...

I put this game together recently and tried it with Grade 9's. They were engaged, AND they loved the Easter eggs. Never too old for fun! Great for a sub plan, a warm up activity, or as part of a wider project.

I love teaching band this year. But I enjoy it even more and feel more fulfilled as a teacher when I'm challenging kids with learning by ear, improvisation, and other creative pursuits.

PSA: The band piece "Cardiff Castle" by Mark Williams sounds awesome with a drum kit part.

Thank you for your time.

I teach band this year, and the band program is huge (beginners has 67 in it). I started using a headset mic for rehearsals and, now, also in class. Do any of you use one? Yes or no? What are your thoughts?
