Our Band and Remote Learning

4/19/2020

 
Context
  • Students have instruments and band binders at home.
  • Every student has their own or school issued device at home.
  • Every student has a Smartmusic subscription at home.
  • Approx 400 students
  • Grade-level bands
OUR REMOTE LEARNING PLAN
  • Our purpose is to develop relationships and the individual skills to allow us to continue individual student and ensemble success when school resumes.
  • Daily work has value. Our plans ask students to play their instruments each day. This helps to establish a daily routine and plan. We all need purpose and our mental health will thrive with some structure. If a student misses a day, just get caught up the next day.
  • Daily work should take 5-15 minutes to complete.
  • Please do not let technology cause stress. Submit your work in SM, on Flipgrid, on a voice mail or send us a screenshot. Let us help!
  • We are available to help. We can provide group support and individual live coaching as needed-reach out to us! (check videos attached to the assignments for help)
  • Now is the time to support each other. We encourage all kids to participate when we have online meetings for together time. Our fun activities are as important as skill-building.

SOCIAL EMOTIONAL CARE

  • Due each day and grades recorded the following morning.
  • 3, 2, or 1 point based on completion/attempt or INCT for no work submitted.

WEEKLY MEETINGS
  • During LIVE MEETINGS we will be playing our instruments.
  • Check the Band Calendar, the Stream or Classwork for Meet-up links to the meetings!
1.Have your instrument ready to go
2. Smartmusic open on a computer or iPad
3. Use your phone or 2nd device for the meeting stream. We recommend using headphone/earbuds.
4. If tech isn't working, just jump on the meeting without Smartmusic and use the info to practice later.
