I found this really great article in a magazine called School Band Orchestra about using YouTube as a tool to enhance music teaching. Maybe it's a little redundant to post about because I feel like most students do this already and it's old news but I still found it interesting that using YouTube as a means for education is becoming more legitimized all the time. It talks about using the site in a number of ways such as extra lessons for students to look up, to learning yourself (as a teacher) in a scenario that calls for you to teach an instrument you may not remember how to play. There's actually a lot of really cool articles in this magazine other than the YouTube one, this one just caught my eye. The site I got it from lets you look at the virtual magazine (which I also thought was really neat) so I think you guys should check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks Kara for posting this! I loved the article about youtube and found a few of the other ones interesting as well. I always thought of youtube as just videos of songs, but recently I've been discovering the many uses that it actually has such as lessons. I think it's great that more and more classrooms are beginning to legitimately use it.
