PLN Performing Music

Music performances are an important part of studying music. As the seventh national standard states, it's necessary for students to be able to evaluate music and music performances. This skill can be hard to cultivate because of the modern day inconveniences of traveling to and affording live performances. Thankfully, technology has a way of helping out this problem. YouTube is an excellent source when it comes to finding music performances of any sort. One can often find at least one performance of a piece. This resource can help students listen to how a piece is supposed to go, visualize a successful performance set-up for a piece, or provide a comparison for a student to make in relation to his or her own performance. YouTube gives students more opportunities to watch performances, and while it is impossible to compare a live performance to an online one, it is sometimes the best option.
