Top Ten 'Tape-Testimonials':
10) My students were always asking where they could buy some of this
tape, so I gave each one a roll as a Christmas gift last year. They loved it!
9) I use this tape to remind students
of spots where corrections are needed--the more colorful the page, the more
corrections needed for a piece. When students demonstrate that a tape
spot has been fixed, they get to peel off the telltale tape. One of my
creative students asked to keep the tape fragments she got to remove from
fixed spots because she wanted to arrange them artistically for a "Practice
Tape Collage"! It was beautiful.
8) When I started having students analyze
their chords by color, they stopped complaining about this task! We use
purple for tonic, green for dominant, and blue for subdominant in the music.
7) I often find it difficult to follow
the baritone line in choir music, so I took a roll of tape to choir practice
and highlighted my copies without permanently altering the music.
6) What a wonderful way to
indicate recurring motives in music!
5) For indicating student practice spots, I
use a green piece for "start" and a red piece for "stop" .
4) I used to write practice instructions for
my students on their assignment sheets, but when I tried putting this colored
tape with instructions directly on the music, I noticed an immediate
improvement in lesson preparations. They seemed to actually read the
instructions!
3) I have adopted Karen Koch's musical periods
color -coding system to help students relate composers with their historical
period. We highlight the composer name with yellow for Baroque, blue for
Classical, pink for Romantic, and green for 20th century. Each time they
see the page, they can't help but notice the highlighted composer name and
make the association with the correct period. I don't have to say
a word, once they know the code.
2) This removable highlighter is a real asset
for cleaning up judges' copies of the music at auditions and contests.
1) I just love this stuff !! How did I teach
without it?
