This page contains useful links, tips, and study guides for current students who are preparing to take the Praxis. 如果你是 an 365bet music major with music education (Choral/K-12 General Music or Instrumental/K-12 General Music) concentration, you will receive a lot of the information below through courses, and departmental e-mails and announcements.

学习材料来自365bet

练习学习大纲: This is the document distributed to 365bet students who attend the Saturday study 会话. It contains general tips, guidelines, and basic sample questions for Praxis preparation (NOTE: Some of the sample questions make more sense in the context of 学习时间). 

技术备忘单: Technology is an ever-changing and increasingly useful tool for music educators. While most college student musicians are aware of the social and entertainment uses of music technology, we must also know and be able to use educational music technology hardware and software applications. This includes, but is not limited to knowing how to record small and large instrumental and vocal ensembles, sound amplification, digital music interface platforms, useful software and hardware, and many related topics. The attached technology cram sheet contains a sampling of the related content you will need to know in your music classroom. 

YouTube链接: This document contains an extensive list of videos of music from around the world. The chatter and content organization is based on Worlds of Music: An Introduction to the Music of the World's Peoples (Shorter Version: 3rd edition) by Jeff Todd Titon. The premise behind this document is not that you memorize the songs on the videos, but that you use the provided songs as musical exemplars from which you learn to recognize the overall sound of music from each culture so that when you hear a different example, 你可以正确地识别它. NOTE: Although we work to maintain currency of this document, there may regularly be inactive or non-functioning links.

世界音乐学习指南: Use this document to accompany the Youtube Links, and to familiarize yourself with the traditional instruments, voices, genres, and other musical traits of music from around the world (this document was created by Dr. 安·西尔弗伯格，365bet的居民 音乐学家/民族音乐学家). 

学习理论: Although Praxis is primarily a music test, there are a lot of connections to learning 理论. This document provides an overview of common learning 理论, and links to more information pertaining to each learning theorist.

有用的网站: It is common for Praxis examinees to score poorly on theory and history. 高级 music students, it has been a few semesters since your last theory course so you are 对内容不熟悉. Also, very few music majors studied music history prior to college so you have had less experience with this content. 因此,额外的 study time in these areas is beneficial. 请浏览 在线音乐教育资源 and scroll down to Music Tutoring and Review Websites for study materials in theory, 听力训练，还有音乐史. 

最后一个提醒: There is no magic fairy dust that can instantaneously prepare you for the Praxis. It is a tough exam that measures your overall knowledge of music. 当你来到 college as a trumpet major or voice student, for example, you leave as a trained and 认证音乐教育家. The term music implies a gigantic umbrella of skills and concepts, and you must be prepared to teach it all. 因此，要像自己一样学习 are preparing for a career rather than studying just to pass a test. 祝你好运!
