Earlier this month, I released the first Distance Learning versions of Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 of the S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners. I introduced you to Mr. C, Mario Contreras, who has been partnering with me to create a Distance Version of this program in case we face more Virtual Learning Days ahead with our choirs.
I don't know about you, but ending the year with virtual learning was, for me, a daunting task.
Starting the year virtually...well that is another story altogether.
Since it is a possibility that we must consider, I am moving forward with this period of "testing" to find the best ways to amend S-Cubed so that it can be used effectively in the virtual setting.
I am aiming to create something that is "ready to use" so that it is very easy for the teacher to purchase and upload into his/her virtual platform. I want to work to find ways to create "accountability" so that we can successfully keep our students engaged.
For those who don't know me, I am a middle school chorus teacher myself, so I need to solve this distance learning/chorus situation just like everyone else, and I want to find and refine solutions now so we aren't scrambling if there are spikes ahead before we have a vaccine.
Mr. C is working with me to help create Level One. My goal is to create Level TWO for my own 8th graders in the same manner and the same techniques with me on camera. If we face distance learning, I'll release one lesson at a time of Level TWO week by week starting in early August in my TpT Store.
So, it's time for another ZOOM session with choir teachers. We will do it on June 1 at 7 PM EST. The link is at the bottom of this post. In the session, I will be announce the latest "S-Cubed Distance Learning Version" release. At this point, it may be Lesson 3 (Ear Training) or we may already be ready for Lesson 4 (Reading Pitch). I'll offer it free for 2 hours for download from my store. I'll also offer a 2 hour special on one of the most popular S-Cubed Sight Singing Bundles.
I will also talk about Music Prodigy which I think can play a tremendous role in conjunction with S-Cubed in terms of accountability, practice and assessment always, but especially if we face more Distance Learning in Chorus in the future.
Dale Duncan is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
