dear Bandmate Pro users, do you change the A=440 calibration? We added this feature because most tuners have it, but I wonder if anyone actually uses it? Is it better to not have it so students don’t mess with it? Looking for feedback. Thanks! #bandmate #musiced

Just had your app suggested as a go to for the Google Infused Classroom at the TnMEA Conference. How awesome! Justin Dickson @techmusiced #TnMEAConference19

In an effort to give my MS band kids something to practice, I will write a few "songs of the day" at different difficulty levels. Also instructional videos, play-along tracks, etc. Steal and share this if your kids might benefit from it. justindickson.com/band/song.htm #musiced

Idea for you to steal: Use the SOUNDTRAP app to record duets with your friends online! I made an instructional video for my band kids so they can learn how to do this (it is easy), and I wrote a duet for them to play. Look under "March 21" here: justindickson.com/band/song.htm #band

I spent the past two days re-creating my website from scratch, because my old one that I made in MS Word was so out of date that it would no longer work with modern servers. Anyway, reset your bookmarks to JustinDickson.com ...must include the www or it will not work. #band

This whole experience is making me realize how much I could do with my band program, and how much I could do for my band students, if I did not have to conform to a “grades” system.

The NCMEA Technology Committee, chaired by Howell Ledford, presents a tech resource series designed to help music teachers begin the year with new teaching tools. Eight free hour-long sessions start Monday, July 27 with Q&A after. More info: buff.ly/2WJwkvh #musiced

Good news, music teachers! An update for Bandmate for iOS has been submitted to the Apple App Store, and should be available to download very soon! This update addresses the bug where the app fails to access the microphone on newer Apple devices like the iPhone 11.

The iOS update is now available on the App Store!! Go go go go!!!

I will host Office Hours, where any of my band students may log on to get help from home without the face masks! I will start with Tuesdays from 7:00-8:00. I will also offer other office hours as my family's schedule allows, starting today Saturday 9:00-10:00am. #teamkidsfirst

You are invited to attend our band concert on December 16 at Carroll Magnet Middle School! #teamkidsfirst

This is a playlist, so the 6th grade video will roll directly into the 7th grade video, etc. : youtube.com/watch?v=-0O4WP…

Engineered by Eric Combs, a new chapter for Bandmate Chromatic Tuner has begun. Spread the word. #band #orchestra #musiceducation

Spent the past two weeks focusing on intonation with my 8th gr band, teaching them to adjust and tune to the Pitch Generator in the Bandmate Chromatic Tuner PRO app. Started our first new concert piece yesterday and they sound like a new band. #musiced bandmatetuner.com/pro

Did you know? Bandmate Chromatic Tuner PRO includes a traditional tuner, with a familiar look and a few special features for music teachers you can’t find in any other app. Learn more at BandmateTuner.com/Pro

Check out my new class set of Peterson Tuners PitchGrabbers! Now my students can easily use apps like Justin Dickson on their devices during band rehearsal to receive instant feedback while they are playing. This is the future of technology in #musiced! BandmateTuner.com

"Snow day" today, spent some time tweaking my Fundamentals pages for MS band. Steal anything you want if you think it would help your kids: JustinDickson.com/Band/Fundament… #musiced
