I recently purchased a new distracting device with the aim of using it to distract my students whilst they play a particular song, to see if they can keep playing without, well, getting distracted. It’s an important performance technique to learn, don’t you think?
The device is called a “Gotto-Go Machine” and cost me about $5 (Aus).
I thought it would be especially good for those students of mine who have exams coming up very soon. It might get a giggle or two out of them while we review their pieces, scales and/or exercises.
The distracting noises include:
- Other phone
- Door bell
- Baby crying
- Static
- Dog barking
- Traffic
- Siren
- Smoke Alarm
- Female calling
- Male calling
