Subject: [kl] Educational Games For Bands

One game the director of the bigginers band used play was to stop the
band and point out a student at random about every other measure and have he
or she play the next measure solo. It kept them on their toes as they had
to read along and know where the band was at. He made it a fun game with no
negative remarks to discourage anyone.

>students, please describe some of your activities along this line, or is
>there such a source in a book or on the internet you know of?
>Basically, this would be to help students learn music reading basics,
