Midnight Music
The Midnight Music Community is your solution for online music tech professional development, lesson plans, personalized support and hand-holding (if you want it!).

Inside the Community are 12 online courses which cover specific technology topics such as iPads, GarageBand, Mixcraft, Sibelius, Music Tech For Beginners, Audacity and more. Unlike most other online music software or technology courses, they have been designed specifically for music teachers. Most of the courses are centred around student-based projects – step-by-step adaptable projects that teach you and the students software skills “accidentally” along the way.

Music for Ensembles

Daily Routine for Band
Bob Nicholson
This one page practice routine is for band students to concentrate on basics and to encourage excellent technique. Play from the beginning very slowly. Once you are able to play the entire page expand your range by playing other scales and vary the rhythms to make it more challenging. Note: always start at the top and concentrate on perfect execution to build a solid foundation.
