Using an interactive whiteboard in a music lesson

At present, children prefer video to audio media. Often, students search for an answer to a question using Internet search engines without verifying the accuracy of sources. Students prefer to use modern technologies and active learning.

General recommendations

Carefully study all the features of the interactive whiteboard before proceeding with its operation. Ask the technical support department to connect to the Internet to access the search media systems, the YouTube video site and other information and educational sites.

Let the children use the interactive whiteboard themselves, engage them in the creative process. They can help you include music or presentation. Do not always be "leading", let the students show independence.

Tasks for music classes

  1. Connect your interactive whiteboard to the online gaming portal and launch the Guitar Hero or Rock Band app. These educational and entertaining games will help to form an understanding of terms in students: rhythm, tempo and musical meter. Go through the application yourself, then attract to the gameplay of children.
  2. Show students two different versions of the same piece of music. On the YouTube Video portal, you can pick up versions of the performance of classical works on various musical instruments or in modern arrangements. Students can write descriptions of what they hear. After listening you should compare and compare these versions.
  3. Analysis of a piece of music. After becoming acquainted with a piece of music presented in the form of a presentation on an interactive whiteboard, students are invited to “draw music”. With the help of colored markers or felt-tip pens, children draw their own perception of music, compose rhythmic patterns, depict musical forms.
  4. The study of the names of the tools. Split your interactive whiteboard screen in half. On one of the parts put a list of the names of the instruments, on the other - their images. Add a sound file for the musical task. Have the children match the names and images of the tools.
  5. Classification: Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion Instruments. Divide the screen into 4 parts and sign the instrument view. Children offer the name of the tool for a particular category, the teacher adds their images on the board.
  6. Put the sentences or individual words from the song in the wrong order on the board. Children should write them in the appropriate sequence. To test this, run a music file with the performance of this song.

"I try to have children take an active part in conducting the lesson and use search techniques. With the help of modern technology, software requirements are assimilated more quickly. Children are accustomed to a fast pace of classes and frequent changes of activity during the lesson. Modern innovations allow us to meet the needs of today's students.
