Musical Mind Map

A mind map is a visual thinking tool that has many advantages compared to traditional note-taking and writing techniques.

Mind maps are graphical representations of information that convey the relationship between individual ideas and concepts.

mind maps use images and keywords to create new associations in your brain or the learner's brain, which you can also transcribe with incredible speed.

Once you discover the power of creating mind maps (as a teacher), you’ll be amazed at how much faster the students will memorize the concept...

So After teaching:

independently in my music class,

 I grouped the whole thing in one nice mind map for teachers to use and students to benefit from…

So feel free to download this music education mind map and leave a comment if it does magic to your class as it did to mine.

And after I showed my student this mind map

 I asked them to redraw the map in a different way if they can 

and the results are  amazing👍 here are some examples of their artworks:

u can always check these free sites and make your own mind map:

MindMaster    XMind    FreeMind    SimpleMind     MindManager 

 Ayoa         SmartDraw    Coggle      Lucidchart

If you are curious check cursus.edu

Yesterday I  came across this wonderful site, and i couldn’t RESIST posting about it,

cause if u teach music online, or even piano,  u gonna love what you'll find there

… not gonna write about all the nice things that u can find on www.cursus.edu 

I'm gonna talk about one nice virtual piano that I use with zoom www.recursivearts.com/virtual-piano/

So I open my camera,

     and I share my screen, 

(the virtual piano SITE, + the sheet of music ) and Voila

I can show my students where to put their hands, 

which note to play, BY USING MY LAPTOP’S KEYBOARD (qwerty),

And for advance students, I can plug my MIDI keyboard into my laptop and play...

 the virtual piano will show the keys I strike, 

and the sound is internally produced so no more reverb in the sound.

Come on, go ahead, and click on these links, 

to unlock new potentials for piano tutoring,

OF COURSE IF U SURF U 'LL FIND A LOT MORE 

SIMULATORS, FORMATIONS, COURSES.........

HAPPY SURFING.

Very nice tool to use in music class (it saves time...)

Do you want to engage your music students with fun and interactive presentations, 
 

visualizing their opinions in real-time. 

 Mentimeter enables you to turn ur class into an interactive brainstorming, poll puller, 

multiple-choice, and many more.

This is the site Mentimeter.com that u should visit.

        Get the code 
                 Send it to the students ....

They will go to menti.com enter the code and voila 

 Get fast feedback live from ur students within minutes, 

            U can thank me later …. 

( I tried the word cloud to brainstorm music vocabulary 
                Scales for choosing the composition they like to play this year 
       And ranking for finding out what they like most in my class......)
