I've tried to get some feedback from some other classes regarding what I am doing with the 7th grade class. Most of the students seem to think that readily available sound clips would be a pretty handy on-line addition for band homework help. In a very unscientific-based research poll (OK, the 'show of hands' method), far more (30% m/l) students have on-line access at home then do students owning mp3 players. This reason alone is enough to pursue 'recorded homework help' as an ongoing classroom supplement, not simply a class project.

It sounds like a lot of up-front work, but it could be a real asset that you can work with beyond one class.
I am technologically challenged, so I must admit that I don't quite understand the mechanics of your plan. But as a former band geek :) I think you have a really interesting and fun idea. It sounds like this is something that could motivate the kids whose parents may have to push them to practice. Good luck!
