We all have read several instructions about (not) singing in the classroom, sharing instruments and playing games with our students due to the danger of spreading the COVID 19. We are deeply concerned about our students’ safety and at the same time seek for ideas to make our lesson interesting and safe (in person and in distance learning).
What about listening to excellent music?It can never be out of a music lesson. Here are some ideas I tried to during this hard period: Vivaldi’s "The Four Seasons"through my Listening Maps offer a completely safe way to involve kids with music.
Children will realize the musical form of these pieces, imagine pictures of nature, listen to different rythms and tempos, recognize string instruments, drawtheir own pictures on the maps, try their own melodies for these pictures of nature and more.
In the first book children watch videos about Venice, paint carnaval masks, see Venetian style paintings and learn about the Baroque era. They also get to know Spring mvt 1 with videos, games and activities.
In the 2nd part, Vivaldi recalls his days of success and travels in European cities. He introduces his Summer, Autumn & Winter through videos and activities.
In Summer we focus on birds voices, play games and have a chance to compose music imitating birds voices. In Autumn we learn about Dionysus, the Ancient Greek God of wine to understand the first 2 movements describing a feast and the drunkards' sleep. In Winter we make our own story about people walking in the snow, draw pictures, make melodies!

As many of you are rushing around a Winter holidays concert or witer holidays activities, I present a short interactive game created with Canva AI. It's a melody sequencer for the first 8 measures of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with notes on the staff. Have a look at the video to see how it works!

Summer is over but we can keep its spirit up with a story! Meet a little Crab who loves adventures and plays with new friends. TPT link TES link Two fairy tales where our Crab meets other animals from the mainland and from the sea. He discovers noe things as he is open to new experiences. The book can be read on its own by any teacher, parent or child. In each fairy tale children will also find an empty page to add an adventure of their own and draw it on the book. Μusic teachers may use this book to teach musical forms in early ages (K-3) (Binary, Ternary, Rondo, Theme & Variations). The idea is that each adventure corresponds to a section of the music. This way children get an idea of form in music while listening to the music and dramatizing the story. The stories are accompanied by happy Greek traditional music specially recorded for the book by some of the most prominent sol...
6-7 is a trend among children, so let's try a game about it! The initial game is played like this: children stand in a circle and start counting τα παιδιά from 1-7: one, two, three, four, five, six , seven . Those two who say 6 and 7 play Rock-Paper-Scissor. The winner stays in the circle, the other sits down. Let's transform it to a music game: Option 1: We sing the notes from Do to Ti : Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti. La and Ti are 6-7. Children who sing La and Ti play Rock-Paper-Scissor to see who stays in the circle. Option 2: I created a short song with 7 notes. Each child sings one syllable. The last 2 syllables are 6-7. You may create your own song with 7 notes choosing the notes you want to practice with yo...
