Wow - eye opener!

Wow - Dr. Moore's video was a real eye-opener for me as a Band Director who has always relied on the students reading their parts!  I have used the play by ear technique in Elementary music class, drum circles, Worship Band (Christian Rock Band) class, and teaching Jazz Improv before, but now I'm really excited about opening up these ideas to my traditional band classes.  A great way to teach composition and to focus on listening to each other (even more than usual).  Thanks for the great video!  #MFlearn19
I'm excited to take this course!  The video today about informal learning was very good, and really piqued my interest in the class.
