    Tonight we're talking some favorite "hacks" for the music classroom... #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    Q1: Many of us teach in multiple schools and/or LOTS of students. Share a favorite organizational hack. #musedchat
  • MsSteklac Oct 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1: I love using the band/orchestra seating chart generator at https://t.co/mthOI3VR62. #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1: I use my Google accounts for EVERYTHING. Big help now, but was especially useful when traveling between buildings. #musedchat
  • TubaChic Oct 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1: Google drive. I can edit stuff at home and at school. Also carry a binder every where with hard copies of important papers #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Good answer! :) #greatminds #musedchat
    In reply to @TubaChic
  • marissaguarr Oct 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1: still learning but I often use the help of https://t.co/EW5NGNMG0b for some great hacks! #musedchat
  • TubaChic Oct 2 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    YES! Love that chart! So much easier to read than my scratching names and arcs on paper. #musedchat
    In reply to @MsSteklac
  • jhallma_mused Oct 2 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: When in doubt, google. Google drive could work for this. #musedchat
  • TDucassoux Oct 2 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: https://t.co/CraKQRh78C is excellent for online plans #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Great resource! Really need to put together some official seating charts this year. Thanks for sharing! #musedchat

    In reply to @AmyLynnRever
  • TubaChic Oct 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1: Oh and I use Stand name tags to quickly learn student names. Even used last year's yearbook to get a jump on names and faces #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    I can see the benefits in that. Less "how much of this one have we done" to keep track of. #musedchat
    In reply to @toshmorelli
  • MsSteklac Oct 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A1: I also put all my daily plans in Google Slides that I project with a timer and schedule for day. Makes it easy to look back. #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    I've seen that used a few times. May need to make the switch instead of it all being thrown into our perc cabinet. #musedchat

    Q2: Lots of kids. Lots of schools. Lots of equipment. Share a favorite classroom management hack. #musedchat
  • CondensedScore Oct 2 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    I do this with PowerPoint. Keep on track during rehearsal and keep record for later. #MusEdChat
    • MsSteklac Oct 2 @ 8:17 PM EDT

  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    @mssteklac I might give this a try. Better accountability for both students and me! #musedchat

  • MatzkeMusicRoom Oct 2 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2: with 1,000 little kiddos that I see on a rotating schedule, iDoceo saves my life. Seat charts, grades, plans, behavior, etc. #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    I've heard some good things about that program. #musedchat
    In reply to @MatzkeMusicRoom
  • marissaguarr Oct 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A2: I use a tuning timer with my MS Ss- keeps them moving! Plays through speakers and tells how long they have to get ready! #musedchat
  • MsSteklac Oct 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A2: Have the kids pulse their rests with their air when they aren't playing. Keeps them engaged and is a great metronome. #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    Tuning timer? That sounds like a great tool. How does that work? #musedchat
    In reply to @marissaguarr
  • Felipe_Hdzjr Oct 2 @ 8:24 PM EDT

    In reply to @AmyLynnRever
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    What kind of tape do you use? I've got carpet and was looking at gaffer's tape to lay out the room better. #musedchat
    In reply to @MsSteklac
  • TubaChic Oct 2 @ 8:27 PM EDT
    I do this too! I create the belt requirements as we go so as long as you keep up with the group you can earn the belts. #musedchat

    Q3: Share a rehearsal or daily class hack. #musedchat
  • AmyLynnRever Oct 2 @ 8:32 PM EDT
    A4: A sticky note or paperclip on the score to help me track parts to revisit is helpful when lacking time for detailed notes. #musedchat
  • toshmorelli Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    multim rests: ONE234 TWO234 etc...count the meas on your fingers, work as a team. all kids in section count together. #musedchat
    In reply to @MsSteklac
  • jhallma_mused Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    A3: Clarity is key, set goals for the class prior to rehearsal so they know what needs to get done, and set goals for next class. #musedchat
  • TDucassoux Oct 2 @ 8:33 PM EDT
    A3: Pencils stuck with velcro on the music stands...easy for quick music marking #musedchat

    How many times a year do you rehearse silently? Also, do you as the conductor teach silently? #musedchat #ed4338

    A5: Get other educational leaders in the classroom! Have a principal come in and participate in a game or have a Spanish teacher explain the lyrics to a foreign language song. It changes it up for your students and shows that we're all in their learning together. #MusEdChat
