Self-Grading Musical Literacy Quizzes for String Orchestra (GROWING BUNDLE)
As I made these quizzes, I wanted to keep everything quick and efficient. With such limited time with our students, we can’t waste a single moment giving more written assessments than necessary. Each quiz typically takes five minutes for students to complete. I recommend setting a timer to hold students to their allotted time so that none is wasted! On the planning and prep side of things, I also didn’t want to post and grade four different assessments (one for violin, one for viola, one for cel

String Orchestra Fingering Charts Bundle
Just a quick resource that might be helpful! I'm planning to print these as large posters, laminate each, and use a dry-erase marker to mark particular pitches we're working on in class. I color code all my students' tapes the same way so that "yellow" generally will always mean the same pitch for everyone, except bass players. This fingering chart will just be an added visual for students who may need it. I hope it's helpful! Don't forget to follow me for updates and freebies, and leave feedba

Experience
I'm Jillian and I've been teaching orchestra for the past fifteen years in Connecticut. I've taught at both the elementary and middle school level, and recently added middle school general music to my schedule, too!
My own education history
I earned my Bachelor of Music and Education from Syracuse University and my Master's in Music Education from Columbia University's Teacher's College.
Additional biographical information
As a fellow music educator, I certainly don’t claim to know everything there Is about being the perfect orchestra or music teacher. However, what I lack In perfection, I make up for in passion and enthusiasm. I have a lot of fun experimenting with new ways to stay organized and motivate my students, and I believe this excitement translates into the resources I create and offer on TPT.
Each product is designed to make your teaching experience smoother and more enjoyable, just as it has for me. Your support and feedback are incredibly valuable, as they help me continue to grow and improve.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. I look forward to providing more tools and resources for you and your students :)
