Perfect Pitch | Take the Field
Perfect Pitch | Take the Field
Game produced by the Kennedy Center's Arts Edge. Perfect Pitch teaches students about the instruments in an orchestra through a baseball game setting. The game introduces students to four eras of orchestral music and the instruments used in each. Students can create their own small orchestras and virtually play each instrument to hear how it sounds. After building an orchestra students then test their knowledge in short quizzes about the instruments and their sounds.

Technology Integration Matrix
Technology Integration Matrix
The Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) illustrates how teachers can use technology to enhance learning for K-12 students. The TIM incorporates five interdependent characteristics of meaningful learning environments: active, constructive, goal directed (i.e., reflective), authentic, and collaborative (Jonassen, Howland, Moore, & Marra, 2003).

Together, the five levels of technology integration and...

Interactive Jazz Band - Smithsonian Folkways
Interactive Jazz Band - Smithsonian Folkways
Provided as part of the Smithsonian's rich resources on folk music, students can interact with a jazz band. They can choose from three songs representing different jazz styles and then raise and lower the volume of a particular instrument sound to hear it more accurately. If students select specific instruments, a window pops up with more information about that instrument's role in jazz ensembles.

Much of the content posted initially to this wiki was ported over from the former Home Practice Online website. HPO was created in 1998 as a resource for young instrumentalists and their directors. HPO was used by many band directors, and was featured in numerous music education articles, texts, and at conferences and university music education technology classes, all over the United States. With the advent of Web 2.0, and its ease-of-use, perhaps this wiki can expand the scope, content, and usefulness of HPO.
