The mission of Listen2Learn is to provide easily accessible musical clips from both quality literature and performances. It will strive to help directors and students develop their understanding of musical concepts and in return their performance of literature. This website will continue to grow with playing examples and vocabulary words.

IDEAS TO USE IN CLASSROOM

•Use as playing examples when teaching or reinforcing a concept.

•Play all clips from a concept and have students choose which they feel is the best example.

•Play two examples from contrasting concepts. Have students compare and contrast.

•Show students 2-4 terms on the board. Play one example and have the students pick which concept is being highlighted. (Choose wisely. Clips can show more than one musical concept.)

•Use the solo/soli excerpts to introduce unique instruments to students or demonstrate proper tone quality.

•Use full recordings for quick access to music as students enter and exit the band room.

•Create a scavenger hunt for students to explore the site learning concepts and repertoire.

•Copy and paste clips into your own slideshow or document to create a personal teaching tool.

•Full Length Recordings page has a link to windrep.org for program notes.

•QR Code Tempo Activity: Link to Sheet
