NEW RECOURCE! Musical Forms for K-3, part 1

Image
  Look at the video to learn more about the resource Presentation and Worksheets to introduce Musical Forms to children from K-3. The idea of form is presented in a simple way through many images and examples. The presentation can be completed in one teaching hour and is ideal for substitute teachers too.  The basic idea of the 1st part is to recognise the ideas of Same , Similar & Different in music. Since forms are created when combining same, similar and contrasting ideas, its very important for everyone to have this crucial ability. Movement and play are very important in learning at these ages. Young children have to move and play listening to music and aurally recognise the changes or the repetitions between the parts of a musical work, even without knowing anything about forms and any other terminology.

ΝEW BOOK! The Crab in his Hole

 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.

Safe ideas to teach music in the corona virous days!

Image
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 m y 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 , draw their own pictures on the maps, try their own melodies for these pictures of nature and more.
