The Idea Bank contains materials which we hope will be useful and valuable to you as a music teacher. These ideas come from a variety of sources, but mostly we rely on you. Click to submit your idea.

• If you want a particular type of resource, say a game or alternate lyrics to a song, choose that resource type from the Subject Search pulldown menu.
• Enter keywords in the Idea Search to search titles and text throughout the entire Idea Bank database. For best search results, try to be specific but concise, and avoid prepositions and articles: "Pipe Cleaner Notes," not "how to make a note out of pipe cleaners."
• By default, the Idea Search will look for your keywords in the title OR text of the idea. You can narrow your search by checking "Search Title Only." This is particularly useful if you are looking for a specific idea and know all or part of the title.
• To find all ideas a certain person has submitted, enter first, last, or full name in the Author Search. Remember that not all contributors use their full name.
