How to download YouTube videos!!!
This link gives you the "secret" on how to download YouTube videos. No more bookmarking videos (just to find that they have been deleted) or to find that the music was not copyrighted and doesn't play sound anymore! This will help keep you organized from lesson to lesson and allows you to prepare much quicker between classes.
Beatboxing in Band
This article on beatboxing and bucket beats is written for general music classes, ages 10-12, but I would take this concept and use it with my band. Not only is it a fun and engaging activity, you can work on breathing techniques and phrases with beatboxing. I can also see this concept to help students learn new rhythms!
I have used the "ss" in front of the youtube video url this year because I too have bandwidth issues in my very rural schools. If the "ss" does not work (I have experienced this website having some issues as well), you can also use keepvid.com.
