We don't necessarily pick our rep together, but we share pieces that worked well for us, and often we use the music that our colleagues picked. It saves us budget money because we share our libraries with each other, and it saves us time figuring out what concepts we might teach with those pieces. For our inter-middle school festival, we try to purposely program pieces from the festival with our regular choirs (and band and orchestra) to save rehearsal time for the festival. In that respect, we do plan some of our rep together.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762968642287513961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740338238116719946.post-73898602595067956992013-04-14T09:50:42.819-07:002013-04-14T09:50:42.819-07:00Guitar is a stringed musical instrument with a fre...Guitar is a stringed musical instrument with a fretted fingerboard, typically in curved sides, and usually six or twelve strings.

I wish that was available with the All-Eastern groups. And I am guilty of missing that 8 AM with Tom Duffy, and probably guilty of being behind with social media. I need to get on the twitter scene. <br />Thanks for the great workshop on your experience with iPad in the classroom! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332383960020989392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740338238116719946.post-44653325104989626972013-03-12T07:16:47.326-07:002013-03-12T07:16:47.326-07:00You could use VPP?You could use VPP?Allison Imperiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742258552001693426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5740338238116719946.post-41809554805107316502013-03-12T07:13:06.054-07:002013-03-12T07:13:06.054-07:00Wow!

From my experience, Garageband is incredible for this! I think the iPad and technology in general can be gateways to having more students participating in music in secondary schools and beyond.
