Do you teach sight-reading in your classes? Perhaps you could have some rhythms posted on a wiki and the students practice the rhythms individually and record their "performance of the rhythms" on the wiki. They could also do this in groups where they create a 4-measure "rhythm composition" and perform it using different instruments for each note value as a group. The performance would be recorded so that students in the future could learn aurally the difference in note values by looking at the notes and hearing different sounds for each note value. I think the students would love the fact that they are on a "recording". I like your ideas and information. Do you teach sight-reading in your classes?

I love your post -- it's selfish, maybe, but you did EXACTLY what I had hoped participants would do for this "thing...." you explored these different wikis and noticed possibilities... the possibilities are pretty unlimited, really... I bet there are lots of ways to support music learning.... hmmm... do you ever study orchestra families, instruments or different genres of music? composers? I could see students researching different parts/components and building a resource wiki.... Hooray!
