I have been looking for a good assessment tool on the chromatic scale, and this is great because it breaks it up into small bits, AND teaches them to read sharps and flats.
Thanks!"

Thank you!"

Welcome to MSBandDirector.com. World's largest network of professional music educators all working together in the internet 2.0 collaborative format. Upload files that you teach with to MS and have them available to you from any internet-ready machine, including your pda or phone. Add colleagues to add their teaching materials and soon you will be able to see what the site is about. It is certainly not the facebook for professional music educators, but rather each member is encouraged to maintain their "Resume page" (main page) as such. Tell members about yourself, upload files of your program, your compositions, your arrangements and pictures of anything professional that you like. Bookmark MS as your default page and all of this information is available on one page on the web.
again welcome,
Russ WEaver
