I was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to help people remember musical italian terms?

During the "small talk" at the beginning of the lesson, make a rule that each sentence has to include on musical term.

-P-

Humor.

What's "p" mean?

Then be ready for anything…

1) Learn Italian

2) If that's not possible, then probably some pneumatic devices would help: alLEGro...you need legs to go fast, things like that. Pretty much whatever you make up will work as long as it's weird enough to remember.

There's an interactive site which includes a hangman game involving terms. However, I think it has them in Italian, German, and French. Not sure if you can toggle, and I lost the link when the old computer died. I think it come from a link on another subject in PW - does it ring a bell for anyone?

cool that internet thing sounds good. some good ideas though... i came up with an idea as well. Im going to make a memory game thing where u have to match the term with the meaning. :p . my child like self jumps for joy. plus it would be helpful for those with different learning patterns. But i think it might be cool to hit it in different angles. Also it does depend how old the student is.
but thanks heaps
