__**Lesson - Podcasting**__

**Setting**: Group music class (band, choir, orchestra)
 * Grade Level**: High School (9-12)

1. Students perform music and broadcast music via podcasting. 2. Students critique their own and others' performances. 3. Students find free/legal recordings of the pieces they have recorded by professional/semi-professional musicians. 4. Students collaborate to create radio shows showcasing performances and critiques.
 * Goals:**

1. Students will record, by themselves, the solo repertoire they are working on 2. Students will then find a professional/semi-professional recording of the same piece. 3. Students combine these recordings, using Audacity or other similar DAW, and export the project as an MP3. Students then upload the project to a shared server. 4. Each student will then download the recordings of 1-2 other students, and record written critiques of the students' work, commenting on tone quality, expression, musicality, etc. Students will upload these critiques to the same shared server. 5. Students listen to the critiques of their performances, and, using the critique as a basis of goals for improvement, re-record the piece with the evaluation in mind. 6. Working in groups, students will create podcasts of their solo performances, the critiques of their work, self-critiques of their own work, and the new recordings. The students will then make comparisons from their final product to the "professional" recording and discuss differences, areas for future improvement, and things done by the "professionals" not found in their own music.
