To figure out what I would add to my PLN this week, I began to look back at the numerous websites I had bookmarked using Diigo, and noticed that I had bookmarked something from Carnegie Hall's website. I was initially confused as to what I could have found on the website of Carnegie Hall that would relate somehow to Music Ed, but was pleasantly surprised when I found that they have an entire Online Resource Center for Music Educators, filled with lesson guides, student guides and worksheets, video and audio, etc.
Not only is it separated by grade level so it's easy to find, but the Online Resource Center also separates its content by the National Standards of NAFME, so if you're specifically trying to find something that encompasses one of the standards, it is easy to do that as well. Once you click on a Standard, it even further divides the content into genre of music and instruments. I think this is certainly a resource that I will look into more as I continue my education.
I never would have even thought that the website for Carnegie Hall would include such resources but this is great to know. I'll have to check and see what kind of lesson guides they have. This could be helpful when brainstorming ideas for lessons.
ReplyDeleteThis is too cool! I remember performing in Carnegie Hall in High School and loved it. The fact that they have resources for educators is shocking to me, but so fantastic! Could you attach a link so I can check it out? I can't find it through Google or their site. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to look up Carnegie Hall for lesson plans. It would be neat to do a lesson plan about performance from this resource. You need to edit your post and add the link for this site so everyone can access it. Nice find.
