Recording Exchange

Through the magic of Twitter, we were able to connect with a band in California that was playing one of the same pieces as us last year. We exchanged recordings and the students were able to give and receive some really good feedback. I've tried this to a degree with other pieces, but students were able to give much more meaningful comments on music they were familiar with.

I would really love to do that again this year. I tried posting in the Facebook Band Directors Group but wasn't able to connect with anybody playing the same music. A lot of other teachers were interested in doing the same thing but ran into the same problem. I'd like to try one more time and hopefully a few more of us can connect with other ensembles to share.

If you're interested, please fill in your information on this awesome site created by the one and only Aubrey Yeh! Hopefully we can get some more directors and bands connected and get our kids thinking and sharing!
